About this listen

Enter the series at any book—each is a complete stand-alone mystery!

When Mariska trades the brisket she won at “meat bingo” for three tickets on the new Gulf Voyager cruise ship, she, Darla, and our detective Charlotte enjoy a ladies' cruise to Key West. But when passengers start dropping like anchors, they find themselves afloat in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico...and a murder mystery.

Charlotte notices the victims were all sitting at their assigned dinner table...does that mean they're next?

The handsome ship's doctor is up to no good, the cruise director is shifty, the captain seems clueless, and one of their tablemates just dropped dead in her oatmeal. Charlotte thinks she can solve the mystery, but she'll need Darla's pickpocketing skills and Mariska's unusual fighting style...

Meanwhile, Declan gets an unexpected, giraffe-pattern-covered visitor while babysitting Charlotte's terrier—she plays a mean game of rummy and brought along a stalker.

Fans of Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None will love this cruise-bound caper!

wow!!! I have enjoyed all the Pineapple Port mysteries as they are normally funny and well written but after the dramatic plot twist to the series in the last book I wasn't sure where the author would go next. However this book has just blown them all out of the water. I just loved every second of this mystery. I think it was because they were stuck on board a ship with a killer, that, with all the secrets and cover ups, nobody actually knew about. Other than the listener of course, it really captured my imagination. I am so glad Darla and Mariska went on the adventure with Charlotte, as they are two of my favourite characters but don't think Declan and the rest of the men folk still have there own adventure/problems. The story is told by multiple characters and this works well because you are given clues that Charlotte isn't but don't worry it all comes together with a dramatic finale. I have read or listened to a lot of cozy mysteries set on cruise ships but nothing thing like this one turned out to be. There was so many possible murder victims or targets that I had no idea who the killer was. The story can be read as a standalone because it is that good but why would you want to miss out on such a great series.

When Mariska wins a brisket at "meat bingo" she is reluctant to swap it for three tickets to travel on the maiden voyage of new cruise ship but the idea of a girl's holiday in the sun wins out and she invited Darla and Charlotte. They are assigned the biggest table but the bubbly hardly starts to flow before one of the guests gets sick. The another table mate suffers a heart attack. Is the table cursed? Or are they just unlucky? Then another guest asks her to help find her missing husband and Charlotte begins to think something more deadly is going on. Can she get the captain or any of the crew to take it more seriously? And what about all the notes written on pink paper? did everybody get them or just the ones who have strange things happening to one member of the party. As she and her friends found one in there room, does this mean they could be next? You would think finding a killer or his next victim would be easy with them all stuck in one place but with everybody keeping secrets and acting shifty Charlotte faces her most difficult case yet. At the same time Declan is facing his own challenges looking after Charlotte's dog, who hogs all the bed, entertaining her surprise house guest that likes to play games and catching her stalker.

I like the narrator. She is the voice of charlotte and her friends and i can't imagine listening to anybody else in the role.

A splashing good mystery
