[Paula · Rating 5 out of 5]

In the 4th book of the series, we find Mildred aboard a cruise ship with her childhood friends, Susan and Bea. After losing their lifelong friend, the trio are surprised and pleased to be offered the trip when Mildred is asked to investigate and investment opportunity by her boss at the casino.
What starts out as a simple undercover job/vacation/memorial service soon turns into the next Mildred adventure, because G-ma just can't seem to stay out of trouble.
Enter the Girl Scouts and some nefarious characters, and adventure awaits on the high seas.
Highly recommended reading. Don't miss the prequels, either!

[Ellen White · Rating 4 out of 5]

Age is not a factor for this three senior ladies to have a cruise for a week and it is all paid for. Time together and memories of one that held the group together to scatter her ashes. They never really knew what Mikdred’s job was, it is security for the casino, and it also seems like she has a knack for finding trouble. These are enjoyable , with adventure
