Emma Griffin FBI Mysteries #27
The Girl in Her Cabin
ALL ABOARD!
The crew members on this cruise ship are hiding dangerous secrets.
Especially the truth behind what happened to The Girl in Her Cabin.
After celebrating her best friend’s wedding, FBI agent Emma Griffin and the gang are looking forward to a much-needed vacation. They hop onboard a cruise ship excited for the many excursions and adventures. But as time progresses rumors and murmurs circulate about a woman that might have gone overboard. A strange woman that Emma had just spoken to a few days prior. The search for the missing woman hits dead ends, prompting Emma to involve herself and look into the woman’s cabin, finding only more questions. The crew members appear to be on edge, and it seems as though they have been silenced. When more odd things occur and flowers start to appear everywhere. It seems that it’s only a matter of time before the guests begin to panic. When a man is found dead after an excursion. The death is ruled accidental. Emma begins to suspect that maybe the entire crew is keeping a deadly secret. Could they all be complicit in the crimes? Nothing is adding up, and the mystery intensifies. The only thing Emma is certain of is that The Girl in Her Cabin never saw it coming…

I used to love this series but each book is getting progressively worse. It screams I HAVE A DEADLINE. It’s rushed and not well thought out or executed. There are also a lot more punctuation errors. The writer also mistakes onboard and aboard when speaking of characters that are OFF the ship which could cause the plot to be harder to follow. …. The gang just started exploring their beach excursions but now Emma is looking for crew members who have “come aboard as well” doesn’t make sense. Please start taking your time!

The concept of this book was good and I overall enjoyed it. But I feel as the series goes on, the writing and editing is getting worse. I noticed a lot of grammar mistakes, random letters added, etc.

I love this series, and the characters are fantastic. I found this book to be a bit off. Although Sam has complete confidence in his wife’s abilities to protect herself, it’s unlikely he would have been okay with her wandering and investigating the happenings on the boat by herself. He’s aware of someone watching her, and the dangers involved. The reality of her being physically able to enjoy DisneyWorld the day after fighting off two men is unrealistic. Also, if I were Eric and Bellamy, I would have been all kinds of angry at Emma for getting involved. Yes, they told her they understood, but really!?
When returning home, they find a mystery box on their doorstep. Who left it? Why not check the cameras Sam installed in the last book?
I look forward to the next book in the series, and hope some questions are answered.

Disappointed
I thought this was a good book, not one of my favorites. I felt like the book was only 75% finished. There were several mysteries but nothing solved. I have read everything by this author, and know how there are continued stories from book to book. What happened on the cruise ship was never solved and they all just walked away. That doesn't sound like Emma to me. They just go to a theme park. I am very disappointed.

Well, even if Emma is an amazing FBI agent, I guess she needs to accept that she is also human and needs to have a back up when investigating dangerous situations, specifically when she has already been attacked instead of going at it alone. It was disappointing to see Sam not pushing more to be by Emma's side.

Read 2024 - I'd give this 3.5 stars.
Emma, Sam, Bellamy, Eric, Bebe. Xavier, Dean, Cupcake (Xavier's friend), Owen (Dean's son), and Vance (Dean's friend) all go on a cruise to continue Bellamy and Eric getting married. While on the cruise in the first day or two, a member of the cleaning crew goes missing. Then a man is found dead having a 'tragic accident' but Emma knows it was murder, then another man is found murdered by 2 gunshot wounds to his face. Emma jumps right into the woman's disappearance and the men's death. She is supposed to be on vacation but cannot ignore when something very fishy is going on this cruise ship and everyone is ignoring it.
It turns out that the two men there were killed were actually private investigators who were onboard investigating the woman who later goes missing. She is a wanted fugitive using a fake name onboard. They are also there investigating another wanted fugitive under a fake name that went 'missing' a couple months before on the exact same cruise. But the PIs are both killed. The "missing" man and woman (the wanted fugitives) are not found and Emma is attacked more than once for trying to solve this case. It's part of a bigger (possible trafficking) ring. By the end, Emma apprehends two men from the ring after they try to kill Emma and she pieces together who on board is helping this ring.
After the cruise was basically ruined for the group after this case - they decide to spend a couple days in Disney World to finish celebrating Bellamy and Eric. And Emma's stalker is back, they send her a box full of pictures of her from the last year including pictures of her at Disney just a couple days prior.
The wasn't a bad read. I didn't expect the missing woman from the beginning to actually be a part of everything but there are a lot of questions about the case from the cruise by the end that go unanswered, and I'm slightly confused. This story isn't as gripping as others in this series and I was annoyed that Emma inserted herself into the investigation instead of letting the whole group enjoy their vacation but I understand it's in her blood and who she is.

I’m so confused, out of nowhere (because it was in a spinoff series about dean?!) there are just suddenly people she’s mentioning and he has a son and who are these people?! There’s no explanation at all. I thought I skipped too far ahead and was reading the wrong book but nope just didn’t read a spin off series I didn’t know about

Not surprisingly, this is another action-packed mystery, and readers are left with quite the cliffhanger! Emma et al, are to celebrate the wedding of Bellamy and Eric on a cruise. It turns out to be anything but fun and relaxing. The troubles even start before the trip does. As usual, the whole gang is back, and there are a few returning characters. The story is unique and well written. The characters are well developed, and we have gotten to know them throughout the entire series. You could read this as a stand alone but you would miss out on the ongoing parts that have been through some or all of the books, as well as the cliffhanger ending. It just makes you look forward to the next and final book in the series.

Hard to not notice editing mistakes
The editor of the series should be reconsidered. The book is good, but I find myself skipping pages because of the repetitiveness of previous stories, which is fine, but people reading the series don’t need the full back story of what happened…perhaps just a reference. And this book brought in three new characters and I had to google to see if I missed a book and who they were. Annoying.
But this particular book had several mistakes in the editing, and towards the end of the book was the completely wrong name of Sam’s cousin…it’s Marie not Missy. I’m deep in the series and enjoy Emma’s story so I can’t stop now, but I’ll be taking a break after this one for a while.

Another good read
Much of the book was very enjoyable and interesting. Ending was not entirely predictable but also not expected or satisfying. The usual lead-in to the next book, which is great, but I leave this episode wishing there could have been a far more interesting, perhaps darker and definitely more complete conclusion to what was happening on the ship. This was perhaps very realistic but less fascinating than previous books by this author. Just felt like she rushed to end the story without giving us a complete or satisfying conclusion.

Who knew so many things could happen on a cruise?
I guess that there are bad people and bad things that happen in every business. On a honeymoon cruise for friends, an FBI agent comes across a woman who disappears only a day later. A couple months before a man disappears on the same ship with the same crew and some of the same passengers. Next, two male passengers are found dead . Then the FBI agent has the murderer come after her. It pays to be careful on a cruise where everyone is a stranger.

Excellent!
AJ Rivers is a master storyteller, and she's done it again with The Girl In Her Cabin. To celebrate Eric & Bellamy's nuptials, the whole crew takes a cruise. But things quickly go awry when a lady that Emma briefly talks to goes missing. As other incidents happen, Emma realizes there's more to the big picture than she first thought. Follow Emma and the crew as they explore Caribbean waters by day and investigate crimes at night.

Wonderful
This book did not disappoint. Such a well written storyline. I bad trouble putting the book down and couldn't read it fast enough to find out what was going to happen next. This is a wonderful series and I would highly recommend it along with the other series A.J. Rivers publishes. Looking forward to book 28.

SERIES BEST, again
It seems like each book gets better and better. I’m getting a bit annoyed that we don’t have all of the answers at the end of each book - but I guess that’s the point of a series. This book has numerous twists and turns, that not only impact this story,but I’m sure carry forward into the following books.

great read
Emma Griffin is a great series to read.A J Rivers is a great author and well worth reading all his books. Very hard to put any books down,that I have read from this author. Most diligent readers not only read the book,but also imagine seeing the people, the Interaction of the characters. Basically we live the book.

Back home
I've been away from reading Emma Griffin's series for a while, but reading this one was like coming home after a long trip. Added it to that is my history of many cruise ship voyages (more than twenty). This one was great but I think I'll be a little more aware of my surroundings on my next cruise.

This series is still going strong!
After 27 books this series still delivers the suspense and intrigue. Plus, the characters are like family now. Although, I hope Emma catches a break soon. She needs a vacation.

Criminal conspiracy involving cruise ships - who’d have thought it!
The Emma enclave embarks on a luxury cruise to celebrate the long-awaited honeymoon of the newlyweds, but, of course, things go off the rails quickly.

Blown away by this one
Wow, this one was complicated. It was nice to have the whole gang together in one place having a good time. Emma is such a bad@ss, fighting 2 at once. And what a cliffhanger!

a very enjoyable read!
The story moved along quickly with good characters and a lot of fun and exciting action. I love books like these that don’t have extensive descriptions going on but still make the characters easy to understand

The In Her Cabin
Excellent short story, I didn't read every sentence but found the book to have what all mysteries should, intrigue, suspense and a good ending. I would recommend this book for others to read!

This is a great storyline! I enjoyed it a lot. The characters are always great in an Emma Griffin story and they feel like family. It was hard to put down and I recommend it to everyone.

Nice suspense book
I enjoy AJ River books. This one was full of suspense and really kept my attention. Emma is on a cruise with friends when people go missing and others are murdered. She tries to enjoy her vacation but ends up getting involved in the investigation.

Content good typos not…
Far more typos than there should be sometimes causing confusion but good story overall. Will 100% continue on the journey with Emma, hopefully with less typos

FBI Agent Emma is at it again
Ever dreamed about a cruise to the Caribbean? We’ll pray Agen Emma Griffin is NOT one of the passengers along the cruise or else it spells…M-U-R-D-E-R….

Great idea for new adventure
It's a nice change of pace to have the majority of the story line taking place in a completely different situation than the usual way. Same great characters, great mystery and action.
