    About this ebook

    New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth Adler invites you on a decadent Mediterranean cruise--where nothing is what it seems, no one is telling the truth, and murder is on the agenda…

    When English tycoon Sir Robert Waldo Hardwick dies mysteriously in a car accident, he leaves behind a note naming six people he suspects might have wanted him dead. Daisy Kean, and P.I. Harry Montana team up to take the suspects--and also six ‘red herrings'--on a fabulous Mediterranean cruise, all expenses paid by the late Sir Robert. As they call at Monte Carlo, St. Tropez and Sorrento, the mystery deepens. And the unexpected twists are just the beginning.

    Finally, they arrive at the beautiful Villa Belkiss on Capri, where Sir Robert's will is to be read…and the killer unmasked. With the beauty of the Yorkshire countryside, the Mediterranean resorts and the magnificent cruise ship, plus the intense attraction between loner Montana and wary Daisy, passions flare and the beauty of the Villa Belkiss enchants. No one writes delicious armchair travel or intriguing suspense like Elizabeth Adler.

      I gave this four stars because it kept my attention enough for me to keep trying to sneak away to read it. As other reviewers have said, it's a light read. It is definitely *not* a mystery - I wouldn't put it in that category as that was so relegated to the background that it barely counts. But I did like the lead characters and I liked their interactions. The problem is that it wasn't really a romance either, so if you're looking for that, this might not be enough. On the other hand, like I said, if you're looking for a book that isn't overly taxing or emotionally draining -- which is how I like my fiction -- I would definitely recommend.
    • 3/5
      Liked the book mainly because of the locations the story was set in, but the plot was very predictable. Would call this a romance mystery, which is not my typical reading, but it was still a nice light read. Nothing to rave about.
    • 2/5
      A interesting premise - billionaire dies and requests the six most likely suspects join his "gal Friday" on a cruise so she can try and deduce who kills him. Yet the mystery was droll, the killer predictable and the plot boring. The author seemed to know the mystery was weak, so threw in a romance between the sappy, "woe is me" heroine and the stereotypical "I'm a loner" man's man detective. But even this was was rather a snooze-fest, so the author decided to throw in an overabundance of adjectives to distract the reader from all this. Many times the adjectives didn't relate to the noun. "Exquisite gingersnaps"? Exquisite? Really? All in all, a confuddled read.
    • 3/5
      I thought it started well and it was enjoyable however it did fall of dramatically in my estimation at the end with a a freak mini-tornado separating the heroine from the villain clutching her to him.Whilst one might forgive or more sensibly ignore other slightly ghostly winds mentioned in the narrative this denoument was farcical and destroyed the novel for any tenuous believability.The characters were fairly unbelievable and the name dropping of brands tedious. I can only wonder at the quality of editors employed in the rom-com departments of the publishers.The more I reflect on it the more I think 3 starts generous.
    • 4/5
      A mystery/romance presented in an Agatha Christie format--assemble to crowd of suspects in one place and reveal the murderer. Also, a story of second chances.
    • 4/5
      I really enjoyed this book. I liked her previous book, A House in Amalfi, but this was different but no less enjoyable. The characters were fun. What was especially interesting was the way she brought the characters together towards the end, to expose their vulnerabilities and show that, despite outwardly appearances, people hide alot underneath. And that everyone deserves a second chance.
