Excellent book. Not only was the plot great, but the details about the cruise experience were spot on.

Every year, I like to try to read many books as possible on the Popsurgar reading challenge for the year. This one of the reading prompts was about a book set on a train plane or cruise ship, I chose this book via a sale on Chirp.

This book uses different point of views to help progress the story with different characters in the story that you come across. At times it seems a little hard to follow when using an audiobook.

I could sympathize and feel empathy for the main character, Rachel. In the beginning of the book before she goes on a cruise ship we get a small history of her emotional state and why she is going on a cruise and I like the small little bit of History because it does play into the overall story.

I love that she meets her friend who works on the cruise as the cruise nurse. And I love the little old lady that she ends up meeting as well. I do remember a small brief history on each of these characters as well which I thought was a nice touch too the book since it felt like there was three characters of the book instead of one overall main character.

Being a murder mystery cozy, I did not see that the ending of this book was as predictable so I'm sure but it was not as predictable as I thought it might have been when I started this book.
