Cruising Family Style: A Made in Savannah Cozy Mystery Novel (Made in Savannah Mystery Series Book 17) Kindle Edition
“Cruising Family Style” is Book 17 in the Made in Savannah Mystery Series
BONUS: RECIPE INCLUDED!
-----------------------------------------
Carlita Garlucci and her family are looking forward to a relaxing voyage on board Siren of the Seas cruise ship. Her plan is to rest and recharge her batteries with the most pressing concern being how to spend her vacation days and what delicious dishes to try.
The first few hours of the cruise are everything Carlita envisioned, but things quickly change when someone in the Garlucci family’s party is found dead. And it’s not just anyone, but the head of the “mafia family.”
The tragic event takes a turn for the worse when Carlita’s son, Vinnie, becomes a prime suspect and is locked up in the ship’s jail.
Millie Armati, assistant cruise director and sleuth extraordinaire, along with her close-knit group of friends, offers to help Carlita get to the bottom of what happened.
Can Carlita and her new friends figure out who took out the mob boss before her son is charged with his death – or even more terrifying – the “family” finds out and decides to seek their own revenge?

- Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2025Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI TRULY love this series! Carlita and Pete are the icing on the cake. Millie and the Siren of the Seas will be my next series!
- Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2022Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThis book was awesome. The drama was over the top. The ending was totally unexpected. The last person I would have suspected. The least suspect, as Elvira or Carlita would say. Motive and opportunity was another phrase they would use. If you go by the last phrase, you would never have guessed who the murderer was. The story was another fantastic book in the series. I cannot wait yo read the next book in the series. Continuity was flawless. Several new characters were introduced. Each person was introduced into the book with an easy storyline to make the book flow seamlessly. The author keeps upping the bar with each book. Absolutely the best series I have read. Drama, humor, and enough false leads to keep the reader on the the edge of their seat. An absolute, must read series. I am already getting ready to download the next book in the series.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2024Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI loved this book ! I hope there's more to come like this one.
Hope Callaghan you are a gifted writer.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2021Format: KindleVerified PurchaseDisclaimer: Generally I don't enjoy books that combine characters from one series of books with those of another series.
That said, it took me a while to start enjoying "Cruising Family Style". One might expect things to go down hill for the crew of Siren of the Seas when most of the Garlucci family arrives with the mafia godfather in-laws, along with Elvira.
Murder and all sorts of mayhem occur on the Siren's first cruise since its return to Miami from Great Britain. Millie and friends join with Carlita to solve the Godfather's murder and clear Vinnie of the crime. Of course Elvira adds her own chaos to the mix. 😆
- Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2024Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI just loved this one! The Cruise Ship series is my favorite so this crossover had me in heaven. Aside from that it was a great story that had me guessing until the end. Well thought out mystery with twists and turns, gasps and laughs. A close knit group of family and friends blended into one, learning patience and trust with one another. I’m so excited to see where the next book takes on this family’s journey!
- Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2022Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThe Garlucci Family joins the Castellini Family aboard the Siren oh the Seas cruise ship for a journey on the high seas. Elvira and Dernice decide to tag along. One can only imagine what will happen aboard that ship. Will they all survive Elvira’s antics? Instead of having an enjoyable cruise, Mr. Castellini is murdered. Carlita and the gang must join forces to solve this crime before her son is arrested for the murder. Join Carlita as she investigates with the help of Millie and the crew.
This was an enjoyable read. The plot and characters were well-written, making you feel like you are friends. This was a perfect cozy mystery with just the perfect amount of humor, mystery, intrigue, quirky characters, and adventure that will keep any reader completely engaged. Highly recommend the series and I look forward to the next book.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2024Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI love the characters! Not only was it a terrific mystery but a lot of very light humor interesting mixed. Surprising ending in finding who did it.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2024Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI love cruising, so this book was perfect for the cruiser i mmm . lln me. I also loved how Hope crossed over the two series and introduced the Garlucci's, to the Siren of the Seas family.

4.0 out of 5 stars Carlita from Savannah meets Mille at Sea
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseHaving two different series combined was a.lot of fun to read. Both Carlita and Millie seem to attract trouble. Carlita's son is in the frame for the murder of his father-in-law, the NY Mafia crime boss. Everyone in Carlita's family pitches in to solve the murder with Millie's help . A great read.
