Brilliant. I loved it.

Rachel Prince is on another cruise much to the delight of her friends in the medical team. She has her own role on the ship thus time, that of a self defence teacher. Before the Coral Queen gets very far, a murder is discovered in the library. Officer Waverly is away on his honeymoon, replaced by a rude, brash man who offends crew and passengers alike. Seemingly uninterested in doing his job properly, he arrests the first person he suspects and locks him in the brig. Rachel is sure the arrested man is innocent so starts to quietly investigate on her own.


I was given a free code for the audio book in exchange for an honest review.

I loved the twists and turns in this book and had no idea who the murderer was going to be. I would definitely recommend that if you like cosy mysteries, you give it a go.

Cozy murder mystery

I was given a copy of the audio version of this book in return for an honest review and here it is! This was a cozy murder mystery which was easy to listen to. I liked the variety of characters and the story line was well developed, kept me guessing throughout. The narrator read the story beautifully.

Enjoyable Cruising

Another cozy mystery for Rachel to solve aboard the Coral Queen.
I have been listening to these stories in the correct sequence & they are all very enjoyable. The narrator is very easy on the ears & has a good range of different voices/accents.
Looking forward to listening to the next book in the series

another good listen

This is my fourth book in the series and have enjoyed every one. I like hearing about Rachel and her friends are getting on and the mystery is a bit more to it than a typical cozy murder mystery. a very good addition to the series. Thoroughly enjoyable

Great series - in any order

I seem to be reading these in the wrong order but they work perfectly as a stand-alone. Really enjoy the story and narrator. I’ll be working through them all!

You don't need to be dying to enjoy

I enjoyed this book. This is book four in the series and I have listened to all of them and thought they were great and this book is no exception. The characters are interesting and I like the mix of passengers and staff and the way they work well together to get to the bottom of the mystery. There was plenty of suspects and clues to keep you guessing. The added story line of the ex fiancee on the cruise to disrupt Rachel happy life was interesting and added another twist to the plot.
Rachel is on another cruise, this time as a paid guest and everybody one board hopes it won't be like her previous trips as the head of security if off on his honeymoon. However there wishes aren't answered when the leader of a group knows as The bucket list tour group is killed. She had been worried for life before she set sail and shared her worries with a dear friend only for him to be the one to stumble over the body. Rachel vowing to stay out soon changes her mind when the acting head of security sets his eyes on an innocent man. Things get complicated when Rachel discovers the man who dumped her for someone else is also on board the ship. Trying to avoid him proves to be impossible when he keeps turning up where she is. Is he following her? Or someone else? With her friend Sarah and the rest of the medical team Rachel sets about to find out what is going on. Will being the self defence instructor prove to be helpful in this case?
I like the narrator with her laid back English voice and think she was a good choice for this book.
I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this honest review.

Murder and Mayhem at Sea

Another cruise for Rachel Prince, this time around Australasia, and they barely get out of port before the first body is found. Poor old Rachel - if I was her I wouldn't dare go cruising again!

I love these books. Meeting Rachel again is like catching up with an old friend as she is extremely likeable. Her friend, nurse Sarah is also back, but so is Rachel's ex fiancé, and undercover police sergeant! Once again the story is fun with enough twists and turns to keep me happy. I love the settings of these books and the lovely detailed descriptions of life on a cruise ship make me want to be on board, if it wasn't for the murders!

If you're looking for a well written, humorous cosy crime novel with a great setting then I highly recommend this series. The audible narration by Alex Lee was brilliant, as always.

Fun and never disappoints

I love these books. Not only does the series feel like coming back to a fireside chat with an old friend but it is also a fun and whimsical audio with a great set of characters and storylines. This time the woman who trouble and murder always follow Rachel sets off on another cruise this time as a guest speaker to teach the passengers first aid. As trouble always seems to follow Rachel this time around she is not only getting involved in another murder investigation of a woman who owns a travel agency but all the reappearance of her ex fiancé. Why is he on the ship and does Rachel still carry a torch for him. What progresses is a fun story of secrets and lies whilst Rachel tries her best to not get locked up and stay out of trouble but every time gets pulled into the investigation. These stories are fun and during my lockdown it is helping with my cruise withdrawals a little bit
