Killer Knots

In Nancy Cohen's Killer Knots, the 9th installment in the Bad Hair Day Cozy mystery series, get ready to set sail for adventure on a cruise. When Marla Shore and her fiancé Dalton Vail, and her future daughter-in-law Brianna go on a family vacation on a cruise, it was nothing but a pleasurable ride for her. First someone had sent her a message and had gotten her name wrong, when she was placed at the table with a couple of people who worked in an art museum. As she had gotten to know them, she had learned that everyone had a secret to hide, and the art curator had an art auction with a well-known artist named Eldon Tusk, who mysterious had fallen to his death. And that artist had the same connection to Marla's past as a model. Besides heated tensions amounting on the ride, she had to deal with the tension between her future in-laws and some people missing the cruise or having an accident on the ship. As soon as she had gotten to know more about Tusk's accident and what happened to their shipmates, she grows closer and closer to the truth, until someone had waylaid them at one of the Caribbean ports. When the truth is known, it's a life-and-death battle on the last day of the cruise when she faces the killer spot on.

This was a compelling new installment in the Bad Hair Day Mystery series. I did care for Marla and how she decided to tie the knot with Dalton, while her future mother-in-law had put the pressure on her during the trip. I did care for Dalton and Brianna, who have tried to enjoy that pleasurable cruise.  I did like some of her cruisemates and did feel sorry they were duped into that cruise too. I did love the vast scenic locations along the Caribbean from Mexico to St. Maarten and back to Florida that had mesmerizing settings in every port city. This would take you on adventure with high-stakes drama, non-stop action, bone-chilling suspense and plenty of intrigue to lure you in.

Give Killer Knots a try and go for the ride today.
