Moon over the Mediterranean

by Sheri Cobb South

Shady dealings in sunny places... In 1961, young schoolteacher Robin Fletcher is delighted to accompany her widowed aunt on a cruise from Barcelona to Venice—a voyage whose ports of call include some of the great cities of Europe. On her first night at sea, Robin is awakened by the moonlight flooding through her stateroom window. When she goes up on deck to admire the view, she witnesses one of her fellow passengers throwing something off the stern of the ship. Thus begins a series of strange incidents, each more bewildering, and more terrifying, than the a quarrel overheard among the ruins of Pompeii, the only word of which Robin can understand is her own name; an attempted assault in Istanbul’s exotic Grand Bazaar; and, finally, a terrifying confrontation amidst the romantic and mysterious canals of Venice. And through it all there is Markos, the ship’s enigmatic photographer, who seems to know more than he’s telling. By the time the trip is over, will the voyage have changed Robin’s life—or ended it?

Really like this author, but this book is an exception. Not worth the time to read. Dull and predictable, largely a travelogue.

I read this in one day at the pool. Reminiscent of M. M. Kaye mysteries. Take it with you on vacation; a good read while you're traveling or at the beach.

Moon over the Mediterranean
: Sheri Cobb South



An interesting and entertaining listen. A young woman accompanies her aunt an a cruise to Europe. She not only sees new places; she becomes involved in international mystery with plenty of suspense, historical sites, and romance. All through the journey she learns about herself as well.




The narration was well done. The characters were well portrayed. Liisa Ivary helped me feel I was right there as the story unfolded.

More like 2.5 stars. The suspense element was not well-done: it doesn't even show up until about halfway through the book, and when it does, it's obvious what's going on. But my main gripe concerns the main character, who came across as a judgmental, catty bitch. It was impossible for me to like or sympathize with her, and her attitude was *really* annoying.

Moon Over the Mediterranean by Sheri Cobb South was a good read. Robin has decided to accompany her aunt on a cruise from Barcelona to Venice. While at sea, Robin was awakened at Midnight by the moonlight. She doesn't expect to see someone throw something off the ship. This starts many strange incidents. I enjoyed reading this book.

I am a huge fan of Sheri Cobb South's but this book was not a genre I typically read. I was pleasantly surprised by this new work. I love historical fiction of any kind but this story was set in a more contemporary time period than I usually read. However, it worked so well with the intriguing plot, I was quickly absorbed into the story. This was a fast read for me but a very enjoyable one. It left me hoping for another story with our main characters. This was very nicely done.

I enjoy mysteries best when there are elements of suspense and romance. This story fitted the bill excellently.
In 'Moon Over the Mediterranean' I loved the mystery, the characters and the old, vintage feel to the story. I loved the fact that it took place on a cruise in the Mediterranean. The descriptions of the locations made me feel like I was on holidays with the character sand I would like to take this book with me the next time I am on holidays there.
Reading a story set in the 60's is something new for me but I would definitely read more if the author were to continue with this theme.

[Katherine · Rating 2 out of 5]

A fine, silly mystery that has kept me company while suffering from a head cold that is keeping me from focusing on anything else. Set in 1961, it doesn’t have quite the humor I enjoyed in South’s other novels.
