Publisher's Summary

A murdered bride. A suspicious groom. Can Poe catch the killer before the anchor drops? 

Edgar Allan "Poe" Rutherford is ready to dive back into his work as Maui’s top private investigator. But before he can unpack his suitcase, his sister-in-law begs him to photograph her client’s extravagant, nautical wedding. Poe is confident he can handle the wedding party from hell, until he finds the bride’s dead body on the top deck....

Poe searches for signs of guilt among the spoiled partygoers and the fed-up staffers who serve their every whim. Just when he pegs the unfaithful groom as the probable culprit, the case takes a sharp turn to starboard. Before the wedding party makes port, Poe has one chance to determine exactly which passenger fast-tracked the bride's "death do us part". 

Ocean of Guilt is the seventh stand-alone novel in the riveting Murder on Maui mystery series. If you like entertaining mysteries, private investigators with an island state of mind, and more twists and turns than a tropical storm, then you’ll love Robert W. Stephens’ nautical thriller.

Agatha Christie, Move Over!

This 7th book in the series reminded me of Murder on the Orient Express, except on a 220ft luxury yacht. No good deed goes unpunished for Poe, Alana, and Fox board the boat from Hell for a Bridezilla wedding adventure. When Bride and Groom end up dead and missing, things get complicated. Never fear, Poe is on the case, and all the twists and turns get straightened out in the end. As usual, great narration in the Audible format.

Love this series!

This is the 7th book in the Murder on Maui series. The narrator is enjoyable & the character development over the course of the 7 novels is something I look forward to. Poe, Fox, Alana, & Honi are well developed and continue to grow with each book in the series. Thus, I’d suggest starting at the beginning with book 1. However, the books can easily be read as stand alones.

(At this time, Audible is incorrect that this is the 6th in the series. It is the 7th. Sunset Dead, which they label as 7th, is really the earlier 6th novel published Dec 2017. After the holidays, I’ll call audible & try to get the sequence corrected. )

I enjoyed this book very much. The story was engaging from the beginning.

The tale takes place on a mega yacht where only Poe’s tribe could get stuck together in one small cabin with Poe saving Honi’s wedding planner business posing as a professional photographer that just happens to be one eyed (for the time being).

The story had a nice pace. No swear words. No graphic sex. Lots of humor. Some twists & turns. Satisfying conclusion. Excellent narration!

Brilliant series

I am so enjoying this series.
Thank you to the writer and to the reader for bringing it alive..
