Cruise Control - Millie's Cruise Ship Cozy Mysteries Book 6

BONUS: Recipes Included!

------------------------------------

The long anticipated, epic crossover cruise adventure is finally here! Two worlds collide when Gloria and the Garden Girls meet up with Gloria's cousin, Assistant Cruise Director, Millie Sanders and her crew aboard the passenger cruise ship, "Siren of the Seas."

Almost immediately, suspicions are raised when a group of mysterious passengers board and then head straight to the bridge for a private meeting with the captain. Not long after, Andy Walker, Millie's boss, tells her the ship will have some "temporary" staff boarding for this cruise, something that has never happened before.

Later, after the ship sets sail, Millie stops by to greet the captain and Scout, and sparks fly when the captain invites Millie to dine with him in his apartment the following evening.

When Millie arrives for her dinner date the next night, she discovers the bridge is locked and no one will answer the door. At first, Millie is heartbroken, believing she has been stood up, but soon discovers that something sinister is going on inside the bridge after communications onboard are cut off and the ship stops moving.

Will Millie and her friends, with some help from Gloria and the Garden Girls, be able to figure out who has taken control of their cruise…or will they all become dead in the water?

Review

Cruise Control - I picked this book up last night and finished it this morning. I really do love Hope's books, they are always well written and exciting. Her ladies get into so much mischief! I received this book as a gift in exchange for an honest review, and I think anyone who loves to read will enjoy this book immensely! - Tamara Ingram

Cruise Control - I received a free book from Hope Callaghan to read and review. Cruise Control is a great read about cousins meeting up on the cruise ship Siren of the Seas. Hope has brought together Millie and her ship friends with Gloria and the Garden Girls Club to figure out a mystery on board the ship. Will they figure out in time. Come read a great clean Christian mystery to find out. - Rita Day

I loved this book and the whole series - I received this book in exchange for an honest review. I loved this book and the whole series. Can hardly wait for the sequel. These girls get into so many exploits and they each come to the table with different secrets. You never know what to expect. Love Hope's characters. - Amazon Customer

Awesome Book! - Cruise Control is the sixth book in Hope Callaghan's Cruise Ship Christian Cozy Mysteries Series and is a delightful and fun read. This book quickly became a page-turner and kept my interest from beginning to end, with twists and turns appeared around every corner, and the laughs kept coming too. Ms. Callaghan has written another book with a well-plotted storyline, well-developed and fun characters, and an intriguing mystery to try to solve. I love reading a good Whodunit with no foul language, graphic violence, or sexually explicit scenes. Ms. Callaghan is a blessing to her readers and I highly recommend all of her books to anyone who enjoys reading light, cozy Christian mysteries.I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. - RO G'ma

    Oh my gosh, this played out just like an exciting movie that just happened to be a cozy mystery. I loved that the Garden Girls were on the cruise and who knew Ruth’s obsession with all spy equipment would actually come in handy? If she’d been a shoe collector, there’s no way they’d have gotten themselves all out of this mess.

    Some of the scenes were pretty funny even though it was a tense enough time trying to outsmart whoever had taken control of the ship. I loved how all the girls worked together, but the biggest credit went to Annette who had to actually reveal something of what she used to do so she could help save the ship. She always kids if she told people what she used to do, she’d have to kill them. Hmm, I’m pretty sure she’s not lying! Lol

    The plot kept me reading and I could put myself in the story. Despite some unrealistic circumstances (I would think more people in the story would have panicked or not be able to sleep at night), there are some good human elements, creative twists, and some humor. I'll keep reading the series!
  • Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2017
    I absolutely love this series! Cruise ships interest me, and older people working on a cruise ship absolutely fascinates me. Millie is an incredible character with great depth - watching Millie and her friends follow clues is exciting, because you feel that you are right there with them. In this story we add Millie's cousin Gloria and her Garden Girls Club to the mix!

    The storyline is well developed, and the characters complex and interesting. One never knows what to expect, and the pace never lets up. Here we have a very nice cozy mystery that keeps our interest, presents a sense of humor, and lets us know that each of us has our own secrets.

    This time around the ship is being threatened by terrorists - in a very intriguing manner. One would never guess that one of the terrorists might actually be part of the crew!

    The author uses her amazing writing skills to have the characters, from her two can't-put-it-down series, The Cruise Ship Mysteries and The Garden Girls, put their heads together and solve their most dangerous case yet! I love these books because the characters are mostly older but lively, lovable ladies who are fun to be around and know how to have a good time getting in trouble while sleuthing. In this adventure there are terrorists who threaten the ship's safety and its captain and crew. It's going to take all of Millie's and her cousin Gloria' s skills to figure out this high seas mystery (with a little help from their friends, of course!). Hope Callaghan's writing is a blessing to read. It's like going on an adventure with your girl friends--you look out for each other while sharing both good and bad experiences. Great job on combining the series. I can hardly wait for the next cruise crime to happen... Michelle

    Millie can not get a break. This time with her cousins on board, they were hijacked. Being nosey and loving a mystery to crack they go to work.

    ...I found the first few chapters slow moving and did not inspire me to continue reading further. I gave up after chapter three.😣

    Fun concept for a cozy mystery but needed more "bite" at the beginning. Characters definitely should be developed more from the get-go too.
