By day, Sandra plucks trash off Cocoa Beach, points tourists to the restrooms and sometimes discovers dead bodies. By night, she’s a cozy mystery author wannabe. Sandra has an aversion to cops, one homicide detective in particular. They have nothing in common except pheromones. She was eighteen the first time he kissed her and the last. Five years ago, he answered his cell and ran off to work, leaving her panting on the kitchen table with a hurricane looming.
Lieutenant Hottie is married to his career. He moved up the ranks early and engrossed himself in bringing murderers to justice. Serious relationships are out of the question, he’s too busy and not interested. The only woman he wants is off limits. He has built a wall around his heart and won’t let himself be hurt again.
Sandra is attending a writers conference aboard private rail cars. It was organized by the wife of a popular televangelist. The writers are traveling alongside devout Christians on their cross-country crusade. Sandra's loving but hyper-critical mother has finagled a ticket to ride. The morning before departure, Sandra finds a dead sailor on the beach. On the train, Sandra must keep her lips off Lieutenant Hottie and unmask the murderer before another soul derails.
All aboard!

September 24, 2013This was a great read! It was so fun, I found myself laughing out loud at times, causing my family to wonder what I was up to! I really liked the character Sandra and her obsession with Lieutenant Hottie! I really enjoyed their trip and Sandra's constant antics. Well-done.

This cozy mystery was clever, entertaining, and some scenes were downright hilarious! The author kept me guessing from the start of the story to the end as to who was behind all the mayhem and murders on the train. I think Ms. Morris did a fine job of leaving clues and then throwing in twists to throw me off.

Confusing
I never want to hear Tinker Bell and her pixie dust mentioned ever again.
I'm not sure what this book is... Cost mystery, romance, comedy? There are religious references, but there are also sexual fantasies. I wasn't on the same page with the author and heroine at all.
There are some good ideas here, but the execution disappoints.
