Light hearted crime mystery in which a lottery winner with a penchant for solving crimes is invited on a holiday cruise where a mystery occurs. Reminds me of an episode of "Murder, She Wrote". A quick fun read with a Christmas holiday twist. I would recommend it to any murder mystery fan. (  )cbandeli | Oct 26, 2008 |   angelofmine1974 | Feb 9, 2008 | This book was just OK. There really was no mystery to it. (  )netsiren | Jan 11, 2008 | This book was mediocre. I expected more out of Mary Higgins Clark, but her Alvirah Meehan series is not my favorite, so I should have known better. The story follows a group of do-gooders who have been awarded a free cruise on the Royal Mermaid during her maiden voyage. Some criminal stowaways negatively impact the trip, however, and several characters' lives end up at risk. I found the story somewhat patched together, and I felt the authors created details late in the story to serve the plot and create an effective climax. I'll stick to Mary Higgins Clark's books. ( )kellyoliva | Dec 21, 2007 | Typical holiday mystery with Alvirah Meehan and crew. A good, quick fluff read.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 141653802X, Mass Market Paperback)Alvirah Meehan, lottery winner turned amateur sleuth, and private investigator Regan Reilly are guests, along with their spouses, on the "Santa Cruise." The cruise is a gift from Commodore Randolph Weed to a select group that "has made the world a better place." His largesse is prompted by the desire to create a buzz about his new cruise ship, the Royal Mermaid, as she sets out on her maiden voyage.Alvirah, Regan, and her new husband, Jack -- head of the NYPD Major Case Squad -- are joined as guests on the cruise by a mystery fan convention celebrating a "ghost of honor," as well as ten men who donated time playing Santa Claus, now hoping for a restful post-season. That tranquility vanishes when two Santa suits disappear from a locked room, a storm develops, and an attempt is made on a passenger's life. As the Royal Mermaid sails through troubled waters, Alvirah, Regan, and Jack uncover clues that lead them to dangerous criminals not on the original guest list....
