Summary

Patricia just wants to spend more time in the company of Alistair Huntley, the offensively handsome captain of the Aurelia who seems only too happy to host her. But as the Aurelia sets sail from Miami, it does so with a dangerous new addition: There is a mob boss among the passengers, and he’s on the run - from more mobsters!

Any romantic notions are soon put aside when the mobster’s reluctant-looking bride-to-be goes missing, and Patricia is unexpectedly volunteered to solve the mystery of her disappearance. There’s a cryptic ransom note where the missing woman should be, and one of her bodyguards is soon found - with a hole in his head!

Regretting her decision to help out, it’s not long before the opposing mobster factions take an interest in Patricia’s involvement. Someone has the missing bride, everyone wants her, and they all think Patricia knows where she is. With the ever-faithful butler, Jermaine, at her side and the perfect blonde, Barbie, to distract the men, Patricia will still have to go all out to unravel the riddle before anyone else turns up dead.

Where is the kidnapped bride? Find out for yourself as you take another hilarious, action-filled voyage with Patricia Fisher.

Patricia Fisher does it again.

I previously heard a later book from the Patricia Fisher series with a different narrator and really liked that narrator. When I first listened to this book I wasn't sure about this narrator but as the book progressed I found I really enjoyed it and her voice fitted the characters well.
A mob boss and his bride to be come aboard the cruise ship. But his bride to be gets kidnapped and someone suggests that Patricia will be perfect to help solve the case. But Patricia's in deep this time and wonders if she'll get out alive. A great story from Steve Higgs. I was lucky enough to recieve a free copy of this book from the author but the opinions expressed in this review are my own opinions.

Delightfully Funny Cozy Mystery to Cruise Through!

What a delightful story! It is a kidnapping mystery but also so much more. The characters are quirky and amusing. This is my first book in the series but from what I gathered Patricia isn't a detective. She just has an amazing ability to piece the clues together, regardless of how obscure they may seem. She is surrounded by the most delightful characters including the constantly gin guzzling Lady Mary, Barbie the gym instructor, Jermaine the butler and whole host of mafia.

Because of her reputation as an amateur detective, Patricia gets called in to solve the mystery of the suddenly missing bride. Turns out the bride is due to marry a mobster. And this mobster's rivals are on the ship looking for this missing bride too. The story twists and turns as Paticia continuously gets pulled in by the different mob factions to work for them. Meanwhile her friends keep disappearing and dead bodies show up. And in all the mayhem nothing is as it seems.

I cannot wait to listen to the other books in the series. It seems like such fun!

This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review."

Good!

I hadn't listened to the first book before reading this one but it didn't detract from my enjoyment of the story. I quickly got to know the main characters. They are a fun cast and I loved all the humour in their exchanges. The mystery was engaging and kept my attention.
I enjoyed the book and will listen to the next one in the series.

I voluntarily reviewed an advance reading audio copy.

High jinx and High seas

I enjoyed this easy to listen to cozy mystery. The story is just like the cover artwork depicts a light, clean easy mystery just right for filling in a few hours. There was a lot going on with a number of characters that it kept it entertaining. This is the first book by this author I have listened to but I will look out for more books by him again.
Patricia is on a cruise ship enjoying her time with her newly made friends when the peace is shattered by an unexpected helicopter landing. With the unplanned land comes lots of trouble in the form of gangster Bosses and there goons. And they are all seem to be after the same thing a passenger that has gone missing. The newly pointed Head of security is over whelmed and asks Patricia to step in and get to the bottom of the mess but whenever there is a tuff war between warring fractions of the mob guns are going to start blazing. Can Patricia keep herself and her friends a live long enough to see the end of the cruise.
The narrator was okay but being British I found the voice a little bit annoying as I don't know anyone that speaks like that but I did get use to it.
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Loads going on!

This book is a very fast-paced story! From beginning to end there are hijinks galore! A great whodunit to keep the listener's attention and mind racing to the dramatic ending!

The kidnapped bride

This is a busy book. From the beginning of the story it moved at a pace. The narrator read at such a speed and told the story and never faltered or hesitated over the words that were written.. The bride arrived on the boat with her intended who was portrayed as the mafia man. Then she pops to the toilet and disappears. The security men search high and low for her with no luck. They then ask one of the passengers who helped solve a previous crime So she starts the investigation. There is so much going on and different criminals involved . One plot leads to another and it is very entertaining.
