Just the kind of comfort read I was hoping for! Exactly what you expect.

I listened to the audio book and it was a bad story. Just hope you are not on this cruise ship with the worse management team. I hate everything about this book, the story,the writing, the good /bad caracter...I pushed through to finish it and I do not recommend it.

Another fun, no-brainer, cozy Mary Higgins Clark mystery! Alvirah and Willy are back in this book. This time they are on a cruise ship billed as opulent as the Titanic to celebrate their 45th wedding anniversary. The cruise is catered to celebrities and the wealthiest in society. One of the wealthiest, Lady Em, is on board to show off her never worn in public emeralds that belonged to Cleopatra. After the cruise, she plans to donate them to the Smithsonian. Surrounding the gems is a curse that whoever wears the gems across the sea will not make it to port. There are all sorts of suspects who want to do Lady Em in. Ms. Clark sets them all up nicely with different motives. Sort of like reading a game of Clue! While I guessed the suspect fairly early on, I wasn't quite sure until the end. Fun read for a rainy day!

The only way I can describe how this book felt to read is: Agatha Christie mixed with Elin Hilderbrand plus a dash of playing a Nancy Drew mystery computer game.
The good people were good people with good thoughts while the bad people were bad people with bad thoughts. Nothing complex, extremely simple but still entertaining!

As usual, Mary Higgins-Clark does NOT disappoint!! This story just flowed so easily I could not put it down! Huge fan and really love the older couple that have been appearing in her books lately! Somehow brings them all together.
