Review:
I haven't read a good mystery in awhile and this was a nice, entertaining read. I was left guessing throughout most of the book as to who the culprit was. I was pretty much dead wrong once everything was revealed. There were a lot of twists and turns along the way.
Sidney Marsh is the lovely protagonist in the book and she is a likeable character aside from her poor decision-making skills when it comes to men :) But we've all been there, right? She's a travel agent for the High Steppers who are a varied and quirky group of (mostly) senior citizens. She has taken them on quite a few world vacations over the years and all has been fine until this particular cruise. It's not long before one of the High Steppers turns up dead and that is just the beginning.
This was a satifsying mystery novel. The plot unfolds smoothly and I loved the varied cast of characters. I do wish there had been a little more romance thrown in. There were the beginnings of some romantic-y situations, but I would have liked them to be fleshed out a bit more. That being said, I enjoyed the book and am curious where Sidney's next mystery/adventure will take her :)
