Florida Department Law Enforcement Agent Chloe McMurray isn’t used to being asked to do a lot for her job, but this one has her a bit confused. Why was she brought into what seems to be a federal op? She and her counterpart, Federal Agent Wesley Law, are going to pose as a couple to investigate what appears to be a string of murders and murder/suicides that just happen to have a technological connection. They are going on a cruise as second honeymooners with an interest in the technology and hoping it is not A CRUISE TO DIE FOR.

Their targeted people are connected to a corporation called Milestones, which has ties to many industries, and is giving a symposium on the cruise ship. Given only hours to learn their new identities, each other, and the people they are to watch for, Chloe and her new “husband” board what should be a fun adventure. But danger lurks at all corners, and in this case, if things go haywire, they have no escape.

A CRUISE TO DIE FOR is a fascinating look at a cruise and what could happen behind the scenes as other guests go merrily along with their fun. Chloe and Wesley are very interesting as individuals who are good at their jobs and very confident in their abilities. It was fun to watch as they – along with readers – get to know them and feelings grow between them. They are pretending to be a young married couple on their delayed honeymoon after all, so some affection is to be expected.

The adventure that is the mystery of who the bad guys are and how to stop them was, as always, with the wicked mind of author Heather Graham, intriguing. Readers have the chance to try to solve the mystery as they read along, but this one just might stump those who love to play detective. Some moments feel like they drag, but you will appreciate them, as in those moments, you are given a number of hints to help the solving of this mystery.

If you are in the mood for a good mystery, a look at what a cruise can look like, the perfect touch of romance, and a lot of twists and turns, then A CRUISE TO DIE FOR will be the book you need.
