The Missing Sapphire of Zangrabar: A Patricia Fisher Mystery

Patricia Fisher Mysteries, Book 1

By: Steve Higgs

Narrated by: Stevie Zimmerman

Patricia Fisher is about to find out that 52 is the perfect age for an adventure!

When her life is unexpectedly turned upside down, ginaholic housewife, Patricia, doesn’t react as most would. Instead, she empties the bank accounts and jumps on the first cruise ship available - it just happens to be the world’s largest and finest, the Aurelia.

Less than 24 hours later, the world throws her the next curveball and so begins a race against time to prove she’s not a killer.

She has help though:
Her butler - his perfect Downton Abbey accent and penchant for folding napkins correctly should be enormously helpful!
A pretty gym instructor - can balanced nutrition and perfect abs keep Patricia out of jail?

Her chances don’t look great, but in our most testing times, we truly find our inner strength. Join Patricia Fisher as she learns that you are never beyond discovering a new version of yourself. The world will always look a little different once you have seen it through Patricia’s eyes.

Too silly for me

The plot is silly, ridiculous, and unbelievable. If these qualities don't bother you, you may enjoy this book. I couldn't get beyond the absurdity of the plot, although the setting on a cruise ship could have been appealing. The narrator is top quality and carried the story in spite of its weaknesses. She couldn't quite redeem the book for me, however.

lightheaded romp

The plot line veered into a tale so unrealistically silly it strained even my credulity, and I am a reader happy to escape into almost any story. But just when i considered stopping, I got hooked. The narrator is very good. And overall, i enjoyed the audiobook. it had a great message in the end.

Lovely

Lovely who done it. Wholesome good read. Light hearted, empowering. Not as funny as originally thought but worth a read

Enjoyable read/listen

The Missing Sapphire of Zangrabar: A Patricia Fisher Mystery Patricia Fisher Mysteries, Book 1, my second read/listen from author Steve Higgs. Well written & enjoyable. Narrator Stevie Zimmerman’s voice was perfect for this book and added to the listening enjoyment. I was given an Audible copy of this book & am voluntarily reviewing it.

Lighthearted fun

The perfect distraction for a lazy afternoon!
This is an enjoyable low stakes light hearted mystery. The plot is somewhat unbelievable but that is part of the charm of stories like this.

Love!!!

You can do no wrong with this book! LOVED it! Starting the next book in Three… Two… ONE…

Cute Story

Cute story, but not near to the level of the Evanovich Stephanie Plum series as touted in ads.

wonderfully lighthearted . narrator is fantastic!

can't wait to read more. a very easy, relaxing , fun and enjoyable listen .

Fun read

Enjoyed the read. It may be far fetched but its a light hearted mystery with a good ending.

Lighthearted and funny

Steve Hicks is a great writer. His books are very funny with wonderful storylines. This one was very different in that the story unfolds on a cruise ship. The characters were great and I laughed and giggled throughout it. The narrator was fantastic. She has a wonderful voice and provides each character with their own distinctive voice and personality. This lighthearted book is a must.
