My Review
This is the first book I have read in this series. So I had not established a relationship with Fiona and Nathan yet, I was able to jump right into this book with no issues. It felt like I had known Fiona and Nathan for a long time.
I listened to the audio version of this book. The narrator Maren Swenson Waxenberg did a very good job of bringing this story to life. All of the different characters did have a different voice. You could tell the male from the female characters. I wanted to point this out because some narrators don't do enough to really separate the voices that they kind of seem similar.
Talk about a intriguing cruise. There is no relaxing on this cruise with dueling enemies, Dusty and Cassidy on board. When one of them goes missing it is up to Fiona and Nathan to solve the case. Cozy mystery readers will enjoy this book. There is no gore or blood just a fun story with engaging characters.

Mysterious notes are showing up in Fiona’s kindergarten classroom, claiming a suicide from 2005 was actually a homicide. Detective Landry maintains the messages are too vague, possess no integrity, and do not warrant a review of the old case.
Fiona’s not convinced. She’s determined to find the author of the enigmatic notes and uncover the truth about a man who had many secrets and countless enemies, including Fiona’s mother and former suspect Nancy Quinn!
Can Fiona crack this cold case, and what will it take to get Detective Landry involved? Don’t miss taking notes on this murder!
