A Showstopping Musical Cruise Cozy Mystery Stand-Alone

Four legendary rock stars. One killer cruise performance. Can these quirky amateur sleuths solve the murder mystery before their career gets axed?

A southern all-girl band from the ‘80s, The Delta Queens, are ready to set the stage on fire aboard the Ovation with their soulful rock ‘n’ roll music. When their tour manager lands them the headlining show on the ship, the ladies seize the opportunity to revive their musical career and grab one last shot at fame and fortune. But there’s one thing standing in the way of their success…murder at high sea.

After a rehearsal session goes awry and a member of the crew is murdered, Doris, Rosemary, Margie, and Patty Sue are caught in the spotlight as possible suspects without an alibi. Clearing their names becomes more difficult when a quirky journalist shares a secret obsession, a guest mysteriously disappears, and a raving fan makes a shocking revelation. Now everyone on the ship looks suspicious and the truth is buried at the bottom of the sea.

To make matters worse, the ship’s captain has an unconventional idea about how to best deal with the situation. The ladies don’t want to follow her heartless plan, but if they cross hairs with the captain one more time, it could cost them their careers…or get them thrown overboard.

Listen to Murder at High Sea, a totally addictive stand-alone book, for a showstopping murder mystery that will keep you snorting out loud and flying through the audio to figure out whodunit!

The four main characters, four devas who used to be popular singers many years ago, pretend to be investigators and try to solve a murder on their own when authorities fail. The story has some suspense, great friendship, and a lot of humor.
The narrator made this story come to life with her great talent for giving each character a unique voice and personality.

An entertaining cozy mystery. Some flawed but interesting characters. These ladies aren't just fluff, they have substance and maybe a plan B and a second career in sleuthing if they want it. It kept me guessing until the end. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest opinion. The narrator did a good job bringing it to life.

I enjoyed this cozy murder mystery narrated wonderfully by Meghan Kelly. The narrator has a southern accent which fits with the quirky southern character sleuths. The four friends who are rock stars are entertaining aboard a cruise ship. They decide to solve the murder. It was entertaining to listen to this book.

I found the beginning a bit slow but once you get to Chapter 3, the events start to unfold. It’s very well written & beautifully narrated with a touch of Southern accent.
The band ladies that start investigating are hilarious. I would recommend it if you’re looking for a short, fun, captivating book to read.
