Former-nurse-turned-medical-fraud-insurance investigator
Pauline Sokol is sure her latest case could very well be
her last. Her boss, Fabio, is sending her to investigate
over-charging of medical services aboard the Golden
Dolphin, a popular cruise ship. Worrying about criminals is
the least of Pauline's concerns as she reluctantly accepts
the assignment. She could fall overboard, drown, the ship
could sink, or worse, disappear into the Bermuda Triangle,
never to be heard from again.
Things are worse than she could imagine when Pauline
actually makes it onboard. She's sharing a cabin not much
larger than a postage stamp with a surly French nurse, and
the nurse she's replacing has simply disappeared, a fact no
one is willing to talk about. Not only that, her parents
and uncle have decided to join her on the cruise, as have
her best friends and roommates, Goldie and Miles, and the
enigmatic, sexy Jagger, who's working undercover as an
escort.
Pauline is grateful for the support of her friends when her
roommate Jackie ends up with a knife in her back. While
wondering if Jackie's death could be connected to the fraud
investigation, Pauline has to be careful to keep her
undercover work a secret from the FBI and ship staff. With
Jagger's assistance, Pauline uncovers a variety of suspects
who may or may not be involved in both the fraud and murder.
Lori Avocato's DEEP SEA DEAD is a terrific addition
to her Pauline Sokol mysteries. Humor and suspense blend
beautifully throughout. Pauline is a feisty, fun woman. She
has wonderfully loyal friends in Goldie and Miles, her
parents are down-to-earth and Jagger is, well, Jagger! Fans
of Avocato's books are going to love DEEP SEA DEAD; new
readers are going to be scrambling to find earlier books in
the series.
Enjoy an incredible escape from everyday life with
extraordinary views, first-class dining, deluxe
accommodations, and no more than one corpse per
stateroom.When fraud investigator Pauline Sokol discovers
that her next case requires snooping on a giant cruise
ship miles away from dry land and safety, she tries to
squelch her feelings of unease. For a nice Polish girl who
has never been out of New England, cruising in the Bermuda
triangle isn’t Pauline’s idea of a good time. And to add
to her distress, she finds a dead body in her quarters.
Now Pauline must juggle her duties as a cruise ship nurse
with her new role of ship snoop. And when a fellow nurse
goes missing, only hunky fellow investigator Jagger can
help Pauline sort out the mystery before more bodies start
piling up…including her own! Dive into DEEP SEA DEAD
for the ultimate mystery on the high seas!
