My dad was an award-winning journalist for 40 years. He wrote human interest stories in his later career about characters that simply jumped off the page when you read about them. He inspired me to write, and still does even though he's been gone for 30+ years.

Never does Andi imagine the cruise will lead to the murder of a has-been lounge singer—or that Ruby will be the main suspect.
