My Review
Cruise catering director, Kendra Phillips is thrilled to be working for the Golden Circle Cruise Liner. She’s especially anxious when a huge corporate client hosts a gala event. It’s Kendra’s job to make sure the food and drinks continue to flow, and everything is perfect. Then, tragedy strikes.
Her client’s CEO is poisoned when eating the blackberry cheesecake and instantly dies. This could be a disaster for the cruise line as well as Kendra’s catering business. It’s up to her to find the real killer and bring them to justice. She quickly finds out this won't be easy as the CEO has many enemies.
This is a bite-sized cozy mystery set on a cruise ship. It makes for a nice afternoon read. The mystery is solved pretty fast. I usually prefer longer, more in-depth mysteries, but I was looking for something quick and this fit the bill. Plus, I like the cruise ship setting.
