![]() There’s a lot of fascinating ongoing character development, particularly when it comes to Tricia and her family. The cruise’s security staff seems reluctant to investigate an apparent suicide, so despite her own antipathy to the deceased, Tricia decides to look into the death. ![]() ![]() Tricia is looking forward to catching up on her leisure reading and maybe picking up a few new novels what she doesn’t anticipate is discovering the corpse of a bestselling but highly disagreeable thriller writer while on a late night trip for hot cocoa. Tricia Miles, owner of one of Booktown’s many bookstores (in her case, the mystery bookstore), is aboard with her older, more outgoing sister, Angelica. Even better, the cruise is mystery-themed, with a good number of authors (mostly in the mystery genre, but not all) aboard to hold panels as well as discuss and promote their books. ![]() Quite a few Stoneham residents have embarked on this cruise to escape the New England winter, and they are looking forward to a few days of luxury as they sail to Bermuda and back. So it was a great relief to find it highly accessible-most likely because the story itself doesn’t take place in Stoneham, New Hampshire (the fabled Booktown), proper, but on an Atlantic cruise. This was my first foray into the bestselling Booktown Mystery series, and I was a little worried that I’d be a bit lost, as this is the 10th book in. ![]()
