Miz Scarlet and the Perplexed Passenger

Book five in the popular cozy mystery series laced with humor and romance...

"Very entertaining read. It had me chuckling so much I had to pause the reading. She has a very witty humor."

When innkeeper Scarlet Wilson is asked to accompany her wheelchair-bound mother on a five-night cruise to Bermuda, she expects to have a trip to remember. Boy, will she remember this one!

Accompanied by Laurel Googins Wilson's new beau and Scarlet's old high school flame, the women set sail for paradise. While Scarlet loses herself in a good book on the balcony of their stateroom, poor Laurel witnesses the deadly plunge of a fellow passenger into the Atlantic Ocean. It's the start of a nightmare that may never end. Who would want to kill George Delaney, the respectable funeral director from Caulkins Cove, Maine, on a cruise to Bermuda? Scarlet doesn't believe the culprit is the grieving widow.

While Kenny, an experienced investigator, joins forces with old school chum Marley Hornsby, now the security chief for the cruise line, and the cruise ship's security team to find the killer hiding in their midst, the amateur sleuth known as Miz Scarlet can't resist diving into this mystery. But this isn't a killer who wants to be found. He's dangerous...he's desperate...and he's plotting to kill again! Suddenly Miz Scarlet finds herself facing the wrath of a devious, dangerous stranger. Can she stay alive long enough to figure out what the killer's end game is?
