About this listen
Patricia Fisher is about to find out that 52 is the perfect age for an adventure!
When her life is unexpectedly turned upside down, ginaholic housewife, Patricia, doesn’t react as most would. Instead, she empties the bank accounts and jumps on the first cruise ship available - it just happens to be the world’s largest and finest, the Aurelia.
Less than 24 hours later, the world throws her the next curveball and so begins a race against time to prove she’s not a killer.
She has help though:
Her butler - his perfect Downton Abbey accent and penchant for folding napkins correctly should be enormously helpful!
A pretty gym instructor - can balanced nutrition and perfect abs keep Patricia out of jail?
Her chances don’t look great, but in our most testing times, we truly find our inner strength. Join Patricia Fisher as she learns that you are never beyond discovering a new version of yourself. The world will always look a little different once you have seen it through Patricia’s eyes.

It's 1949. When war veteran Aloysius Archer is released from Carderock Prison, he is sent to Poca City on parole with a short list of dos and a much longer list of don'ts: do report regularly to his parole officer, don't go to bars, certainly don't drink alcohol, do get a job - and don't ever associate with loose women. The small town quickly proves more complicated and dangerous than Archer's years serving in the war or his time in jail.

Too silly for me
The plot is silly, ridiculous, and unbelievable. If these qualities don't bother you, you may enjoy this book. I couldn't get beyond the absurdity of the plot, although the setting on a cruise ship could have been appealing. The narrator is top quality and carried the story in spite of its weaknesses. She couldn't quite redeem the book for me, however.

lightheaded romp
The plot line veered into a tale so unrealistically silly it strained even my credulity, and I am a reader happy to escape into almost any story. But just when i considered stopping, I got hooked. The narrator is very good. And overall, i enjoyed the audiobook. it had a great message in the end.

Lighthearted and funny
Steve Hicks is a great writer. His books are very funny with wonderful storylines. This one was very different in that the story unfolds on a cruise ship. The characters were great and I laughed and giggled throughout it. The narrator was fantastic. She has a wonderful voice and provides each character with their own distinctive voice and personality. This lighthearted book is a must.

Enjoyable read/listen
The Missing Sapphire of Zangrabar: A Patricia Fisher Mystery Patricia Fisher Mysteries, Book 1, my second read/listen from author Steve Higgs. Well written & enjoyable. Narrator Stevie Zimmerman’s voice was perfect for this book and added to the listening enjoyment. I was given an Audible copy of this book & am voluntarily reviewing it. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).

Lighthearted fun
The perfect distraction for a lazy afternoon!
This is an enjoyable low stakes light hearted mystery. The plot is somewhat unbelievable but that is part of the charm of stories like this.

Cute Story
Cute story, but not near to the level of the Evanovich Stephanie Plum series as touted in ads.
