Cruise Ship Mysteries #19
Mischief and Mutiny
As the Siren of the Seas nears its next port of call, a group of disgruntled crewmembers circulate a petition to have the ship’s purser fired.
Millie is shocked to learn that not only is her close friend’s name at the top of the list, but other loyal crewmembers’ names are listed as well.
Her friend swears she never signed the petition, and Millie jumps in to investigate after suspecting there’s more going on than having the purser removed.
Millie’s investigation turns into the adventure of a lifetime while visiting two world famous UNESCO sites – the Ring of Brodgar and Skara Brae but ends up being much more than she bargained for.
Will the whispers of crew unrest lead to an all-out mutiny? Is one of Millie’s best friends involved in trying to take out the purser?
Has Millie finally found herself in so deep that even her husband, the captain of the ship, is unable to rescue her?

Wow! This one kept me on the edge of my seat while reading Millie's exploits. A clean and engaging cozy mystery that I am sad to see come to an end for now. I look forward to more in this series.

Mischief and Mutiny is the nineteenth book in Hope Callaghan’s Cruise Ship Christian Cozy Mysteries Series. The author’s smooth writing style flows at a steady pace, the characters are three dimensional and affable, the storyline is well-plotted, and the mystery is interesting. There’s a lot happening in this book, and the twists and red herrings keep the reader engaged and guessing. I highly recommend this book to those who enjoy reading well-crafted cozy mysteries.
Siren of the Seas is on its third cruise around the British Isles, and not only is Assistant Cruise Director Millie Sanders-Armati worried about several of her friend’s physical and/or mental health, but she’s also concerned about the unrest among the ship’s crewmembers. A group of disgruntled crewmembers has been circulating a petition around the ship to have Donovan Sweeney, the ship’s purser, fired. The petition claims that the ship’s captains and officers receive better food than the crewmembers, who receive the scraps, but Millie has a feeling that there’s more going on. There’s also the matter of heavy fog and the ship’s warning horns working intermittently, necessitating a change in the cruise’s itinerary and causing passengers to be disgruntled. As Millie performs her daily assignments, she tries to figure out who’s behind the mini-mutiny, and she and her friend, Cat Wellington, find themselves in a rather precarious circumstance while touring Skara Brae.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

Siren of the Sea has a new route - the Atlantic with stops in Scotland. Arm chair cruise and European travels. Book 19 in the Cruise Ship mysteries is filled unexpected twist and turns, red herrings, and our favorite characters. Mischief and Mutiny is a delightful read, especially Sharky and the homeless drug sniffing kitten. Recipe for Savory Soft Pretzels and a tasty Guinness Beer Cheese Dip, plus a surprise Scottish dish.

As we travel along on this voyage with the crew of the Siren of The Seas, we become caught up in more than one mystery happening on board the ship. Trying to increase moral, Millie suggests an employee scavenger hunt with prizes given for the most tokens retrieved. In the meantime, Andy, becomes the recipient of practical jokes that challenge him to keep one step ahead of the prankster. Could the new activity and pranks be tied in? Add to that mechanical problems of the ship, causing unscheduled changes in their destination, as well as the threat of mutiny, Millie and her friends have a lot on their plate!
I’m always up for adventure on the high seas with Millie and the crew. This is a quick read that kept me turning the pages as I was caught up in the mystery. Ms. Callaghan has a well thought out plot that gives you enough clues to keep you guessing. The ports of call are fascinating and visiting a character from a previous book adds to the charm of this cozy mystery. I thought this was one of the best endings yet as the suspense involving Millie played out on the pages. Finding the leader instigating the mutiny surprised me as well as those involved. This is fast-paced, entertaining cozy. I received this book as a gift from the author. All thoughts shared are my own.

Millie and Cat over hear disgruntled crew members planning a coup on their ship
" Siren of the Seas. "
It starts with a petition about the crew's food being unequal to the upper staff's.
Another petition to get purser Donovan Sweeny fired because of unfair wages and long hours.
On a day trip to to some ruins in Skara Brae Scotland, they get trapped in the Skaill House basement which is known to be haunted, because it was built over a burial ground.
They entered the roped off area because they heard some crew members plotting the attack on the ship.
Left behind, in the scary, damp, small, and dark area, they begin hearing creaks and noises realizing the ship left without them, and everyone has left for the day.
Millie is up to her eyebrows in the middle of this intrigue, as usual, much to the chagrin of her husband, Nic Armati, ship Captain.
I would recommend this book and all of Hope's series to readers of cozy mysteries.

This Series is a nice, light read for any Cruise lover. I will now dream of taking a cruise around the British Isles, being sure to visit the neolithic settlement of Skara Brae when stopping in Orkney. I doubt my visit would be as exciting as Millie’s, as she gets locked in an ancient, haunted burial ground while trying to overhear plans to take over the ship.
While checking up on her elderly, homeless friend in Southampton, Millie finds a hungry kitten and takes him back to the ship. The cat is taken in by Sharky, Who calls him Fin. To everyone’s surprise, the cat has a talent for sniffing drugs. Fin and Sharky make an adorable match.

Each book in the series gets better and better. I love the camaraderie between the characters. The plot has twists and turns and kept me guessing who the culprit was. I also enjoyed the pranks being played on Andy. It showed good, innocent fun. A new pet was introduced, a kitten, Millie found at the warehouse and she took it back to the ship. I enjoyed each and every book in the series and I hope it continues for many books to come. This is a must read if you like clean cozy mysteries with a little bit of romance.

Mischief and mutiny A cruise ship mystery
I love the way Hope Callaghan writes. I was in the ER 15 hours sitting on a chair with my husband. They would only let one person be with him and if I left , I couldn't get back in because of coved. I had this book on my phone and it kept me company all day and night. It was so well written as all of Hopes books.
The characters are all so real, they become your friends and Mill lie, gets in so many jams. The romance , fun , travels, and good clean stories are the best. I can't wait for the next book.

Very good read!
Enjoyed this book very much, as I have the many Hope Callaghan stories I have read, my favorite being the Savannah series. Good clean writing with delightful characters who care about each other. Good plot but not over complicated. Enough of a story to keep me up too late! Enjoy!

Cranky crew.
Another intriguing mystery for Millie and pals when some cranky crew members start creating problems, leading Millie to a few heart stopping moments and a bit of justified anger from her worried husband. Some fun moments with Andy and his mystery prankster also. A very entertaining read, and well researched local history.

This is such an enjoyable series of books. I have come to look forward to each new release to cruise with the Siren of the Seas and the lively group of the ship's crew. They have all been excellent entertainment. Hope Callaghan writes well developed cozy mysteries that reflect Christian values. I enjoy reading all of her books.

Series keeps getting better
This book is about a conspiracy not a murder but it has just as many twists and turns. There are also other sub mysteries like who is pranking Andy. Sharkey is in this book also, his character is odd enough to be funny. As with the other books in this series you do not see the culprit till the final pages.
I look forward to reading the next book

Another great Cruise Ship Mystery. While trying to listen to the disgruntled crewmembers' plans, Millie and her friend are trapped in an ancient burial chamber. The ship sails without them and there is no one around to rescue them. Will they get out in time to alert the captain? Will they get out at all?

Several mysteries in one book
A potentially dangerous mutiny was narrowly avoided in the previous book. Siren of the Seas is safe. Or is it?
Millie is up to her eyeballs in this mystery along with another... Who is pranking Andy?
Great story and another heart racing ending .
I'm off to read book 20!

Millie has finally done it!
She has gotten on Nic's last nerve! With mutiny being planned, Millie and friends work together to uncover the scheme and the perpetrators before it can take place. Who would have thought such shenanigans could take place n a cruise ship while touring Scotland? Only on a ship with Millie Armati!!!
I was given this book to read for my honest review. Honestly, I love reading about Millie's adventures, and I truly believe you will as well.

I have read all 19 of the Cruise Ship mysteries! Millie & Nic have become my friends. This was my favorite books so far. There were twist and turns I didn’t see coming. Also some years and a lot of laughter. Hope Callaghan is one of my favorites!

Another great read
Another great adventure with Millie and the gang. This time it’s a possible crew mutiny and Millie’s friends are suspected of being involved. Their careers are at risk if they can’t get to the bottom of the plot.

The book grabbed me from the beginning. Plot moved along quickly, I hated that it had to end. I love all of hope's books. I'd like a continuation of the plot in the next book if possible.
