Good As Always

I love Mrytle Clover and her friends and family. It doesn't matter if she is at home or on the high seas. She is a great character and this series gets better and better.

Awesome book

Great read has twists and turns even unexpected happenings in a cruise setting and Myrtle and miles in the thick of it!!!

Multiple murders on the high seas

Great story with surprise killer. I love the audible book. I can crochet and craft while listening. Miss Myrtle is a hoot as the amateur sleuth. Miles is a great sidekick. I have enjoyed this whole series of books. The cruise ship mystery was a very different setting for Miss Myrtle’s sleuthing which made the investigation more difficult. Even she did not determine who the killer was until seconds before she was attacked.

Love Myrtle

This is a break from the normal neighborhood for Myrtle. And while the gnomes don't go on the cruise, she finds a way to show Red her displeasure, despite being in Alaskan waters. We save goodbye to Irma Sherman for a while and meet some new characters...some annoying, some more annoying. But Myrtle and An unwilling Miles figure it out. Lots of salmon is consumed. Overall, an enjoyable book. Changes in narrators is unsettling at first, but Judy Blue does a fine job.

No Vacation for Sleuths

When Myrtle Clover’s son and his family go on a cruise, the invite Myrtle and her best friend Miles to go along. A nice cruise along the Alaskan coast seems like the perfect way to relax, see some amazing sights, and stuff themselves with salmon. But before they go on the trip, Myrtle receives a warning that she’s in danger on the trip, and not from a sinking ship.

Several days into the cruise, an acquaintance of Myrtle’s is found dead, and all things point to foul play. With the victim’s entire family and some friends on the cruise, and the growing revelation that the victim was quite the unpleasant person, there is no shortage of suspects. Once again, Myrtle takes up the case, much to the displeasure of her son, Red, and she begins to unravel the puzzle of what happened. But the warning of danger proves to be true. Can Myrtle survive this case, or will she be sleeping with the fishes in an Alaskan bay?

This mystery completely takes us out of Bradley, North Carolina, where all of the other books have been set. With some of the usual familiar characters, there is the sense of a Myrtle Clover mystery, but the setting is so different, and it is a nice change. The mystery was delightful, and I was surprised at who the killer was. This book was a joy to read, and it adds another mystery to this wonderful series.

If you enjoy the other Myrtle Clover Mystery books, then this one will add some spice to the series. With an entirely new setting, we are treated to a plethora of new experiences through the eyes of our sharp-tongued octogenarian sleuth. I wouldn’t recommend starting at this book, but if you’ve read some of the others, I think you will enjoy this one.
