Lethal Cruise

Cruise Ship Cozy Mysteries #9

by A.R. Winters

Adrienne is looking forward to a nice, relaxing cruise - especially when she hears that this time, the theme is beauty and pampering.

Unfortunately, "beauty and pampering" seems to mean something different for the cruise participants!

When one of the cruise participants is killed by a lethal beauty injection, it's up to Addi and the gang to uncover the truth behind the toxic beauty...

Another good adventure with Adrienne and the rest of the gang. This new captain had no idea what normally goes on on this boat. I enjoyed the mystery and the takedown at the end was good.

This was another delightful cruise with Adrienne and crew. They finally have a new captain but he may not be such a prize. We'll have to wait and see. This was a beauty cruise with all kinds of experts and treatments. Even male models that have crew and cruisers salivating. When a creepy guy is murdered with a beauty treatment the mystery is on. Addy, Ethan and all the rest are working to solve the murder while still continuing to do their jobs and keep the cruise running smoothly. It's quite a ride and always a good time. Love this series!
I received a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.

Silly but funny

This book felt very juvenile and silly. There were a few funny incidents or I would have rated this book lower. Again there were typos and that always irritates me. The scenarios were more unrealistic than previous books in this series. Maybe it's time for me to move on and forget about a series that's obviously intended for teens or the younger, naive reader.

Adrienne and her friends had their work cut out for them during this cruise, and Cruise Director Kelly seemed to have a crush on the new captain. He sure seemed like a complete newbie of a captain the way he followed Ethan around and seemed like he was expecting Ethan to tell him how to do his job, lol. The showdown was a good one, partially planned and partially a surprise. But one of the friends in the group came through for her other friends. Definitely an exhausting week for all involved!

The Beauty Cruise

A cruise dedicated to using Botox, Phytox, and other toxins to enhance beauty. Adrienne is thinking this will be a relaxing cruise until a boorish passenger turns up dead. Of course Cece, Sam, Adrienne, and first Officer Ethan Lee are on the trail of the murderer.

Great sequel

I have read all the series to date and enjoyed them all. Interesting characters and always an interesting storyline. I look forward to the next one. I’ve read several of Ms. Winters books and all are fun easy reading.

Another fun read for this series. I had a hard time figuring out who the murderer was, I kept guessing until the end! I look forward to reading the next book. This series is fun, exciting and has enjoyable characters.

beauty in the eye of the needle

Air head models… that is almost cliche. A new Captain… with how he spoke i thought he would wind up being someone’s father. …. Enjoy this book. I did!

Lethal Cruise

I enjoyed reading Lethal Cruise and catching up on Addy and her friends. I like the romance she is in and their investigation into who has been harassing her.

[Jennifer Aicher · Rating 5 out of 5]

Always fun

Entertaining and light. While the series is beginning to wane a bit, it is still quite fresh and funny. I think I've read the first 9 in half a week!!!

Lethal Cruise

I enjoyed reading this book. I’ve read several of the cruse ship mysteries, by AR Winters, and this was definitely one of my favorites.

Enjoyable cruise cozy

[Monisha · Rating 3 out of 5]

I like this series a lot.. I love the characters .This however is not my favorite ... I felt that the book was quite predictable..

[Janice]

As expected with boatloads of farfetched crazy incidents. I've been reading this series for free through Amazon's free lending library, which is no longer, so this might be the last one for me.

Beauty is only skin deep

Keeps you guessing to the end. Liked the story not sure about the new captain. Looking forward to the next story.

[Patricia Mann · Rating 5 out of 5]

Fun story

The plot lines were interesting and suspenseful, and come together seamlessly. The ongoing development of the characters keep them interesting.
