Suspense on the High Seas

Santa Cruise by Mary Higgins Clark

America's Queen of Suspense -- Mary Higgins Clark -- joins forces with her daughter Carol -- bestselling author of the Regan Reilly mysteries -- in this fast-paced novel set on a special holiday cruise that sets sail from Miami the day after Christmas.

Alvirah Meehan, the lottery winner turned amateur sleuth; her husband, Willy; recently hitched private detective Regan Reilly and her groom, Jack, head of the NYPD Major Case Squad; and Regan's parents, Nora and Luke, are guests on the Royal Mermaid's maiden voyage, the Santa Cruise. The cruise is Commodore Randolph Weed's gift to a select group of people who in the last year "made the world a better place." What he really wants is good publicity that will generate future bookings for his struggling new venture. He also plans to scatter his beloved mother's ashes at sea during this four-day odyssey in the Caribbean. What he doesn't know is that his ne'er-do-well nephew, Eric, has smuggled two escaping criminals on board. Simon & Schuster (simonsays.com)

It's almost winter and that means freezing temperatures warrant the demand for warm destinations / cruises. Where would you like to go on a cruise?

I've never been on a cruise, but I'd love to either cruise the Caribbean or somewhere in Europe.

I have never been on a cruise either. I think I would prefer a Mediterranean rather than the Caribbean or Alaskan cruise. Although, I came very close to a Disney cruise once. It sounds like fun but now my kids are too old. I will have to wait for grandchildren.
