Description
Meg's grandfather has been booked to give lectures on a cruise as part of the education/entertainment itinerary, and he's arranged for a passel of family members to join him. The passengers' vacation quickly becomes a nightmare when they wake up to find themselves broken down and in need of repairs. Things get even worse when a crew member announces to all that a woman has jumped overboard, leaving behind her shoes, shawl, and a note. The note reveals she's a disliked member of a writers' group onboard for a retreat, and the group is split on whether this is in-character for her. The captain decides not to investigate, saying he'll notify American authorities when they reach their destination. But Meg's father decides they need to look into whether there was possible foul play while the prime suspects are all stuck on board. It'll be a race against the clock to solve this mystery before they make the necessary repairs and return to shore.

      • content: Narrator Bernadette Dunne expertly establishes a personal connection between listeners and the passengers on a cruise ship that breaks down in the Caribbean. Meg Langslow and her family are well defined, as are the rest of the travelers, in particular the boorish "Three Stooges" and four women who are on a writer's retreat. When passenger Desiree St. Christophe, a notorious has-been romance writer, disappears and a suicide note is discovered, the captain refuses to investigate. Through Dunne's seamless performance, listeners feel the passengers' dread, disgust, and, finally, outrage over the incompetence of the cruise line. Dunne will have listeners cheering as they mutiny to fix solve the possible murder, along with the problems with the ship. V.M.G. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine

        Bestseller Andrews’s winning 25th Meg Langslow mystery (after 2018’s Lark! The Herald Angels Sing) takes ornamental blacksmith Meg Langslow and her extended family on a cruise to Bermuda. Aboard the Pastime Wanderer, Meg meets romance author Kate Trevanian and her three companions, also genre-fiction authors, who are on the cruise to honor the memory of their late friend and fellow writer Nancy Goreham. Kate and company are later shocked to discover deceitful Desiree St. Christophe, the group’s nemesis and Nancy’s antagonist, on the ship, and they wonder about her motives. Then the ship stalls out at sea with no power, and a passenger jumps overboard. When the captain and first officer decline to look into the apparent suicide, Meg organizes her family members, all experienced crime investigators, to pursue the matter. Andrews smoothly combines a clever plot with distinctive and endearing characters. Cozy fans will wish this long-running series never ends. Agent: Ellen Geiger, Frances Goldin Literary.
