Off to the Caribbean.
The books in this series of mysteries are always fun, with a cast that has gradually become familiar and a series of twists and turns that always keeps me guessing.
In Dawn Brookes latest audio, the Coral Queen cruise ship is heading towards the Caribbean and Rachel Prince is on board along with her parents and her elderly cruising friend, Lady Marjorie Snellthorpe. Among the other passengers is a group of nuns who are surprisingly beautiful, one of whom drops dead almost as soon as they leave harbour.
With her parents on board, Rachel tries to keep out of the investigation, but her natural curiosity and with encouragement from Marjorie, her resolve is soon dissolved. This time the FBI is involved and there is much speculation about the dead nun.
With excellent narration by Alex Lee, Murderous Cruise Habit joins Dawn Brookes other cruise ship novels as an entertaining listen and I eagerly await the next in the series.

Fab book
I really enjoy these books but I’d honestly never go on a cruise when these passengers are on haha
These 2 just attract murder & mayhem, thank goodness they do or we’d never have the stories here.
Nuns on a cruise, plus dodgy characters, it’s a must & a mystery abounds.
Great narration as always, the story flows and doesn’t disappoint

Another cruise, another murder!
Rachel Prince is on another cruise. this time to the Caribbean, along with her elderly parents, Lady Marjorie Snellthorpe and Rachels friend, Sarah, one of the ship's nurses. Rachel promises herself that this time she won't get involved in any more murders. Haha fat chance! Also on the ship are a large party of very beautiful nuns and no sooner has the ship set sail when one of the nuns drops dead.
As always, this is a well plotted mystery with little touches of humour and enough red herrings to keep me wondering right till the end. It was great to catch up with Rachel, her friends and the crew who now feel like my own friends. The detail of life aboard ship and the stunning locations visited when the ship is in port make this a delight to listen to.
Alex Lee, as always, did a wonderful job narrating.

An enjoyable series
An intriguing mystery and a good cast of characters made this book an entertaining listen.
The mispronunciation of the Irish nun's name was jarring for me but I doubt anyone outside Ireland will notice.

Rachel is at it again and this time the family are tagging along
Another great story this time Rachel is bringing her parents along for the ride and as always in typical Rachel bad luck a murder takes place this time of a nun. As Rachel gets dragged into an investigation whilst trying to ensure her parents don’t know about her run of bad luck on cruises she gets drawn into a scary mystery and is again putting her life in danger to find out the truth. Honestly if Rachel Price is booked on your cruise cancel but that being said these stories are great fun.

I was stumped, bravo!
Alex Lee's Performance - 5 stars, bravo!
She's so vocally expressive, and I just love how she's able to give each character such distinct vocal personality. She has no problems with gender or accents which is no small feat to this picky listener's ears.
Story - 4 to 4.25 stars!
It was fun to have Rachel's parents featured more heavily on this family vacation. I enjoyed learning more about them and witnessing their dynamic with their star sleuthing daughter. Of course, her regular Coral Queen cruise ship friends were on duty and ready to interact with her. And, rounding out this mystery surrounding the death of a nun novitiate first and then yet another cruise ship passenger was Rachel's ever spunky octogenarian sidekick Lady Majorie.
Overall - 4.5 stars!
The Caribbean destination was brought to life beautifully, and this time I was 100% stumped as to who murdered the victims and why. My 'aha moment' only came after Rachel revealed all, doh!
Up next...book 7!
I'm looking forward to Rachel and her Private Investigator fiancé Carlos going on a cruise together next in Honeymoon Cruise Murder so much that I've already pre-ordered the Kindle e-book copy (Release Date: August 7, 2020). Hopefully, the audiobook format will be available around the e-book release date as well.
