Editorial Reviews

Review

★★★★★ Another great cruise ship mystery!I am always sorry to read the last page. The worst words in the book are ' the end' but, there is always another book to the series to look forward to. For those who have never been on a ship Hope Callaghan writes perfect descriptions of the different locations and areas of a cruise ship.Millie and her friends are so believable that after a few books they almost seem like your friends. I'm looking forward to the next adventure aboard Siren of the Seas!-Pat Warren

★★★★★ Fun, mystery and romance at sea.I really enjoy these Cruise Ship Mysteries by Hope Callaghan. I have read all of them and this latest book is terrific too!-Deejay

★★★★★ My favorite Cozy Mystery Series!This is by far my favorite Cozy Mystery Series and #16 doesn't disappoint. I love all the characters, especially the four women, Nic, and of course the Yorkie. Even though I've previously read every book in this series, I would have preferred a brief explanation of what occurred on an earlier cruise with "the Silver Fox". I can't wait for the next book in this series. If you like Cruise Ship Mysteries and/or Cozy Mysteries you should read this series. Great job, Hope!!-Kristi Blessing

★★★★★ Great mystery!I loved this book. The ship is on a longer cruise, with new ports to visit. Millie , and friends, get involved in trying to solve the murder of a young female passenger!-elizabeth

★★★★★ Another great mystery!I have been looking forward to another cruise cozy mystery and TransatlanticTragedy did not disappoint me! I really enjoyed it as I always do with Hope Callaghan's books. Her books make you feel as if you were there! I would recommend this book to everyone! It's a good clean read!-Digby

★★★★★ Christian Cozy set in a Cruise ShipMillie and the gang investigate a young woman gone overboard.. Is it accident ........ or murder? They are determined to solve it quickly because Amir is a suspect. They come up with two viable suspects, then a third that security hadn't looked at, all while continuing to do their jobs. Intrigue and humor rule the day.-Amary C

★★★★★ Delightful Summer Mystery CruiseTake a 13 day summer transatlantic cruise with senior sleuth, activity coordinator, and captain's wife Millie Sanders Armati. Hope Callaghan's writing flows with its short paragraphs, interesting dialog, unexpected twists in the plot; making the mystery easy to read and the book hard to put down. The characters are diverse: ordinary senior sleuth Millie, ship captains Vitale and Armati, cruise director Andy Walker, plus familiar characters and some new staff. Once again the Red Herrings and the foreshadowing caught me off guard, so I did not see the ending coming. Recipe included.-Deutsche OMA

★★★★★ Another Nice MysteryMillie and the gang are at it again it his latest mystery.I loved the storyline,the cast of characters plus the locale.This book is recommended for those who love cozy mysteries.-Linda Rainey

★★★★★ A great murder mystery cruiseThis series is one of my favorite series that Hope Callaghan has written. The storyline itself is terrific working on a cruise ship after a nasty divorce. This series could continue a long as long as Ms. Callaghan wants it too and I personally can't get enough. Another great book!-Celeste crosby

★★★★★ Cruise Away, Where You Say?Transatlantic Tragedy Cruise Ship Cozy #16 Hope CallaghanAlways a good day when Ms. Callaghan comes out with a new book! The sixteenth Cruise Ship book!WOW! The whole gangs back. Millie, Captain Armati and of course Scout. The one thing that's changed this time is where the cruise is going! It going overseas! Can everyone survive the change? Of course not! Someone dies of course! Man Overboard, Oh My! Millie gets involved as usual because her friend Amit from the kitchen may be involved. That sweet man, no way!It's a quick read, and well worth it. Catch up on KU if you need to (that's how I read all Ms. Callaghan's books that I'd missed!) Always makes me want to book a cruise after I read these!-Sierraflowr

★★★★★ Millie has another mystery to solve!Hope Callaghan has added another terrific mystery to this series! She often keeps us guessing right to the end and this is no exception. Love her Christian, clean story telling. Looking forward to the next story.-Iris

★★★★★ Truth revealedWHO would have thought this mystery involved another betrayed woman? Millie has a way of getting by crossing a lot of security lines.-Amazon Customer

★★★★★ Action thriller on the high seas!Once again the characters shine brightly in this story of cruise ship mystery. The author keeps the multiple twists of the plot clear but challenging. Millie and Nic continue to inspire the lives of their friends. Hooray for Hope. May many more books follow this one.-Jane Gelnett

★★★★★ Stumped againI didn't see this ending coming! 😁 A new entertainment crewmember goes overboard. Is it an accident or murder? Amir is a prime suspect and Patterson seems to be missing several clues. That leaves it up to Molly and friends to find the truth and the real perp. In their usual underhanded way, the ladies solve the mystery as the Siren of the Seas sails across The Pond.-Kindle Customer

    Hope Callaghan is a gifted author who has the ability to grab your attention and take you along on the adventure. This series has been a favorite of mine since it first came out. I have never been on a cruise, yet Ms. Callaghan’s descriptions make me feel like I am there and has given me some knowledge of the excitement of being on the ship.

    Millie and her friends work on the Siren of the Seas, as part of the Majestic Cruise Lines. This cruise is a different as it is sailing across the ocean to new ports of call. As soon as the ship is out to sea, one of the newest members of the entertainment staff goes overboard. Was this murder or an accident? When one of their own is charged with the crime, Millie and her friends step up to solve the mystery to clear his name. The characters in this series are those you would like to have as your friends. I fell in love with them from the first book and it hasn’t changed. The plot is well developed and thought out, with many twists and turns as well as enough suspects to keep you guessing. The adventure continues throughout the cruise until the suspect is found! A Christian touch to the story, makes it a clean and enjoyable cozy.

    It seems like forever since our last installment of adventure with Millie and the crew. I loved that this story included more of the relationship between Millie and Nic. You can feel the love they share. 💘

    The mystery in this adventure made me a bit sad as our victim was pregnant and, while the focus was on her death, we are reminded that an innocent life of the unborn child was lost as well. That put a damper on the read for me. However, the sleuthing was good and the recipes had my mouth watering each time we entered the galley!

    Great book by Hope Callaghan! All of her series are fantastic, difficult to put down and we'll worth the investment of your time!

    Anytime Millie and friends get together, you are guaranteed a good time and a great story. The characters have become like old friends to me. When Danielle first appeared, I didn't care for her at all. She has developed into a character that now I like alot. I also like that Amit is more involved...he's an interesting character.
    If you haven't yet, start the series and read from the beginning. Hope Callaghan makes you feel like you are right in the middle of all of the chaos, fun, and suspense that Millie finds!

    The author, Hope Callaghan, has the gift of keeping one’s attention. Millie Armani becomes involved once more in solving a shipboard a murder. She’s goes through several suspects until she identifies the right one. The killer is arrested, the others cleared, and the killer is shipped home. Once again, a delightful tale!
