About this listen

The latest Kitt Hartley mystery, perfect for fans of Betty Rowland and Faith Martin.

Private Investigator Kitt Hartley and her twin sister, Rebecca, are preparing for a holiday in Scotland when cruise ship entertainer Errol Jackson appears at the door. Errol breaks the news that Bryce Griffin, a former smuggler and an old friend of Kitt's, has been murdered; his body found washed up by a lighthouse, bearing a gunshot wound.

Kitt persuades Rebecca to cancel their trip, and, together with Kitt's assistant, Grace Edwards, and best friend, Evie Bowes, book onto the next cruise to Norway to help with the ongoing murder investigation.

Aboard the cruise ship, Kitt, Grace and Rebecca encounter burlesque dancers, casino dealers, drag queens and a talking parrot named Skittles - seemingly the only witness to Bryce's death. But what dark secrets are lurking below deck? Can Kitt catch the killer before it's too late?

Most enjoyable

I really enjoyed this book set on a cruise ship. There was so much going on, and the perpetrator was a surprise twist at the end. A great book, well narrated.

Disappointed

I have read all of Helen Coxes books and am disappointed with this one. It’s not representative of life on a cruise ship and the narration is frankly boring. The victim is not a sympathetic character and doesn’t invite empathy. I’m half over through and am tempted not to finish this book as up till now it has not generated my interest

Very disappointing

Narrator sooooo same old and monotonous
Story line mmm I agree with previous reviewers.

Need to find a narrator who can play different roles with distinctive accents/tones
