The Captain's Table

by Muriel Bolger

When a group of solo travellers meet for dinner on the first night of a luxury cruise, alliances are quickly formed.But as the ship makes its way through azure Mediterranean waters, it becomes clear that some of the passengers have their own reasons for wanting to escape their everyday lives . . .There's the glamorous London heiress looking for love; the wealthy businessman trying to decide between the life he has, and the life he really wants; the shrewd Scotsman looking for his next opportunity - in business and romance; and the newly separated Dubliner on the run from the media glare - and her controlling ex.Will they find what they're looking for on the open sea? One thing's for sure, it's a holiday they'll never forget.

Enjoyed this story. Like being on a cruise

Good like if the owner of the hotel in dirty dancing told the story from his perspective 😬

I was looking for a light read and this certainly fit the bill. I had no expectations before I started it and surprised myself in how much I enjoyed it. Having been on a cruise I could identify with many of the passengers and the ships routine though I was never lucky enough to receive any gold embossed invitations. Yes, this is a light book but it is an enjoyable read. Off to look at cruise brochures now

An easy read! I enjoyed getting to know the characters, I thought the character updates after the cruise had finished was a great idea. I will look out for another of Muriel Bolger's books.

It does what it says on the tin. Easy holiday read, nothing to tax the brain. Nice and simple.
