Can leave you swimming in doubt.

My Review
Lorelei Baker is still recovering from her first cruise as a kitchen manager. She never thought she’d be dealing with a murder investigation at her new job. Fortunately, it’s all behind her and she’s about to go on her second cruise. She’s nervous but excited at the same time.
Things get off to a rocky start when one of the guest’s jewelry is missing and all eyes focus on two of Lorelei’s kitchen workers as the guilty party. She decides to investigate on her own, but it’s not easy to find out what really happened.
This is a light, quick mystery. It’s perfect when you have a couple of hours and just want to unwind. There is no murder in this cozy mystery book, but I was totally captivated by the crime and the characters. There are characters to love and a couple to dislike. The storyline is intriguing and makes you think.
This is the second book in the series. The mystery is contained in this book, but I recommend reading the first one too. It gives you an inside look at how Lorelei found herself on a cruise ship in the first place. Both books are entertaining page-turners.
