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

Fall has finally arrived on board the Siren of the Seas cruise ship, although you wouldn’t know it judging by the balmy Caribbean nights and the hot, sunny days.

Andy and a rival cruise director embark on a friendly wager to see whose cruise ship passengers are enjoying the new season’s fall festivities the most.

It’s all hands on deck as Andy and his entertainment staff jump through hoops to ensure they win the bet. But it’s not all fun and games when a crew member dies, and to make matters worse it’s Danielle’s new cabin mate.

The woman’s death is suspicious, and when an intruder sneaks into Danielle’s cabin, Millie fears for her friend’s safety.
After discovering that the crew member had been receiving mysterious packages, Millie is convinced they hold the key to solving the case.

Millie and friends dive head first into their own investigation to keep Danielle safe and clear her name. Will they be able to get to the bottom of the suspicious death and track down the intruder before there’s another deadly delivery?

I can't get enough of Hope Callaghans books but by far this is my favorite series. I loved when the captain and Millie went on their date. I also love how Millie takes up for her friends.

This series has a tremendous cast of characters! The author gives us such insight in each book of the series, it is a true must read. - Kindle Customer

★★★★★ If you need a good laugh in the middle of a good mystery this is the book for you!
How nice to see Millie's lighter side. I was laughing as hard as She was. I could not out this book down. I spent the day reading the whole book . My only complaint is I thought all through the book pumpkin crunch sounded so yummy. The recipe would have been a great addition my waist line thanks you for not adding it though..-Dee Heiskell

★★★★★ Cozy Christian Cruise.
Millie and the gang investigate the death of Tonya, Danielle's nasty roommate. The cruise director, Andy is competing with another director, making it harder for the ladies to seek out clues. -Amary C

★★★★★ Stinky Scarecrows and more
Deadly Delivery is another on the HIGH SEAS Hope Callaghan page turner with a FALL THEMED WAGER, plenty of fall activities, and a tasty treat (Pumpkin Crunch Cake). Her writing flows with its short paragraphs, lots of dialog, unexpected twists in the plot; making the mystery easy to read and the book hard to put down. The characters are diverse: an ordinary relatable senior sleuth Millie, a captain, a cruise director; but some characters have a mysterious or quirky side to them.Hope Callaghan's use of alliteration in the title Deadly Delivery and in the opening chapters it is apparent that the title is a double pun. Deadly Delivery Book 14 in the Cruise Ship Mystery series can be read as a stand alone and the series delivers (no pun intended) because of Hope Callaghan's incorporation of perils (theft, drugs, and more) at sea. -Deutsche OMA

★★★★★ Deadly DeliveryGo Hope!
Keep those snoops....er, ladies, busy! They have another murder to solve, and this one is really tough! If you think I'm going to give you any spoilers, think again! All I'll say is Hope has such a great series with Millie and her band of sleuths, and I'm loving it! Read it and learn who, what, where, when and why for yourself, you won't be sorry. And you won't be able to put it down until you finish it! -Tamara I

★★★★★ My favorite Millie adventure so far
I have enjoy all of the Cruise Ship stories along the way, but this one has been my favorite. It just maybe because I figured out who the perp was. Millie and friends usually find some sort of murder to solve on each cruise, but this one struck very close to home for Danielle. Becoming the top suspect was not on her list of things to do on this cruise, nor was spending time in the brig! Millie gets to the bottom of the mystery, but not without problems along the way. -Knitting Scarves

    Another well thought out story. The clues were more obscure this time. Also in the story were several different people who were involved, but they were there to keep the story interesting and to muddy the waters, so to speak. The "stinky" crate was hilarious. So was the bet that Andy lost. Romance was very subtle, but enjoyable. The four sleuths are always good at getting into trouble. Patterson has his hands full. A wonderful time reading this book. There is never a dull moment. I can honestly say that I recommend this series of books to anyone who enjoys a good clean mystery.

    Millie works on a cruise ship, with her loving husband who just happens to be the Captain. Along with her friends, Millie leads a full and often busy life on the ship. Her friend Danielle recently got a new shipmate whom she didn't get along with. To their surprise, Millie and Danielle find this new crewmember dead in her bed. Fearing that she will be falsely accused, knowing that she's the prime suspect in the death, Millie and Danielle set out to solve the mystery and clear Danielle's name at the same time!

    This cozy mystery takes place during Halloween time. It has a strong autumn, Halloween theme that in no way distracts from Hope Callaghan's Christian based storytelling path. It has multiple suspects, love, fun, a mention of autumn and Halloween festivities, and a strong belief that God hears your Prayers!

    Millie is worried for her friend. Her husband the ship captain is supportive but not of her sleuthing. Will Millie transfer to security and leave her fun role of assistant cruise director? I enjoy the Bible verses in the beginning of each story. This is wholesome cozy murder mystery series. It's equals to the author's Savannah series. 😍
