5.0 out of 5 stars A memorable cruise
Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2021
Our heroine has a new role, but she still gets stuck with all the problems. Including a murder...

This is book three of the series, but it works fine as a standalone.

This is a cozy mystery book set on a cruise ship. I found the book to be well written and easy to read. I have really been enjoying the cruise ship setting as it provides a great justification for pulling together an interesting combination of characters. I also really like our heroine and the crazy situations she gets involved in. The story provides just the right combination of mystery and humor to make for a wonderful story. Overall, another highly enjoyable cruise.

Highly recommended

Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2021
Poppy is a concierge and Happiness Ambassador on the cruise ship. They find the body of the captain in a laundry machine, behind an out of order sign. The hunt is on and the twists and situations are wild. The characters are quirky, especially her dad and sister who are also on the cruise. The ending brings it all together nicely. Well done.

This is the last book in this series. Unless she writes some more. Each book can be read as a stand-alone.

Poppy is working on the cruise ship again. And this time, her Dad and her sister are on it, too. And, you guessed it, Poppy finds another body! Really, this must be the deadliest ship in the sea. And why is Poppy always the person to find the body? I guess she just has the nose for it. This time it's the captain. There are lots of suspects. Evidently, he wasn't too popular.

This series is a hoot. The mysteries are never too easy to solve. There are suspects galore. And the cruises seem so fun! Well, except for those pesky bodies!

I read this book for free on Kindle Unlimited.

The plot is well written and holds your attention. The characters are easy to get to know as you continue to turn the pages. The story flows smoothly through the pages and is an enjoyable cozy mystery with the right amount of suspense and mystery.

The dynamics among the dad and the two daughters, Poppy and Oli was interesting. Thomas was a good friend and ally for Poppy who added interest to the story. The murder was unusual, and I didn't have it figured out until nearly the end. This was an enjoyable, easy, one-night read.

I enjoyed this mystery. There are enough twists and turns to keep your interest, the characters are likeable and the plot is tight. I will be looking for more books by this author.

Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2021
Poppy has really come into her own, on the ship. When faced with adversity she turned that into an opportunity to help others. Ms. Lester's writing has a way of transporting the reader into the book. This book is well written as well as the others in the series.
This book could read alone, but it is best to have read the others in the series.

Mr Voss is challenged by members of his extended family over monies used to help start the cruise line and destination package venture.

An annoying brother, Finn, to Mr. Voss, and a bevy of less than qualified crew selected by him are only the beginning of the challenges

Folks with old grudges, and new dark designs are many on this trouble plagued journey

Can Poppy help resolve so many dilemmas? Whom can she trust, when even her nearest and dearest seem to be wrapped up with folks who have agendas?

Trouble, corporate raido, mayhem and murder on the high seas
