29 posts | 27 read | 9 to read
A glamorous cruise on a luxurious ocean liner turns deadly in the latest mystery from Queen of Suspense and #1 New York Times bestselling author Mary Higgins Clark. Fleeing a disastrous and humiliating arrest of her husband-to-be on the eve of their wedding, Celia Kilbride, a gems and jewelry expert, hopes to escape from public attention by lecturing on a brand-new cruise shipthe Queen Charlotte. On board she meets eighty-six-year-old Lady Emily Haywood, Lady Em, as she is known throughout the world. Immensely wealthy, Lady Em is the owner of a priceless emerald necklace that she intends to leave to the Smithsonian after the cruise. Three days out to sea Lady Em is found deadand the necklace is missing. Is it the work of her apparently devoted assistant, Brenda Martin, or her lawyer-executor, Roger Pearson, and his wife, Yvonne, both of whom she had invited to join them on the cruise? Or is it Professor Henry Longworth, an acclaimed Shakespeare scholar who is lecturing on board? Or Alan Davidson, a guest on the ship who is planning to spread his wifes ashes at sea? The list of suspects is large and growing. Celia, with the help of her new friends Willy and Alvirah Meehan, who are celebrating their forty-fifth wedding anniversary, sets out to find the killer, not realizing that she has put herself in mortal danger before the ship reaches its final destination. Never, in all her long career as a #1 bestselling suspense novelist, has Mary Higgins Clark been in better form.

"The magnificent cruise liner Queen Charlotte was about to leave on her maiden voyage from her berth on the Hudson River."

Secrets, false identities, expensive jewelry, and murder on a luxury cruise! Fun so far, can't wait to read more this weekend.

This was my first book by Mary Higgins Clarke and it was a quick, enjoyable read.
Set on a ship, a bunch of characters that were mostly nice and some murders too! #books

I enjoyed this book set on a luxurious cruise ship. Plenty of shady characters, rare jewels, and a murder mystery!

johncadams No better place to set a murder mystery!

I really enjoyed this installment in the Alvirah & Willy series. Of course, I didn‘t realize until now that it was part of a series, as this was my first Mary Higgins Clark, but it can definitely be read as a stand-alone. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Don‘t do it. I‘m a survivor but only because I have this rule that I MUST finish books. The WORST one she‘s written. Too many characters to keep up with, I wasn‘t looking for THAT much intellectual stimulation for an easy summer read. You‘ve been warned. PSA: this is NOT an attempt at reverse psychology.

Love anything Mary Higgins Clark writes. This book no different. New cruise ship with 100 people. Murder and thieft! What better two things in a book. I always love a book, where I think I know who killed the person, only to find out I am wrong. Happened in this book. Most read for mystery fans.

This was the first book I wanted to DNF for quite awhile but I preserved and finished it up today. I used to like Mary Higgins Clark's books, but admittedly it's been several years since I read her. The storyline seemed too obvious and the writing style was really just so-so.

This is another wonderful mystery featuring our favorite lottery winners, Alvirah and Willy. This time we are on a cruise ship where nobody is who they seem to be. A suspicious death, a rare necklace, and a man with 1000 faces are what "detective" Alvirah is up against. This book is written in true Mary Higgins Clark style and is a great read for her fans.

I've been reading Mary Higgins Clark since I was little, so I can't help myself when a new book comes out. Just started listening this morning. Now, don't be fooled by that little "Chapter 9" you see in the accompanying photo, the audiobook I borrowed from my library decided to randomly play the epilogue instead ?
