Masked to Death

Attending a wedding on a cruise ship, a scrapbooking sleuth finds herself at sea in this "wonderful series" (Pam Andrews Hanson, coauthor of the Chesapeake Antiques mysteries).
 
Faith Hunter is about to meet her boyfriend Ted's family as they attend his brother's wedding during a Caribbean cruise. She hopes the vacation together gets their stalled romance moving--but it doesn't take long for that dream to capsize. Ted's daughter hates her. His mother, Odessa, is surly--and Odessa's ex-husband requests Faith's assistance in bringing down a jewel theft ring supposedly masterminded by his former spouse.
 
Having had a man she loved accuse her of a crime, Faith won't let Odessa travel down the same path and agrees to help. Faith sets her course on uncovering the true criminals--but the romantic week turns disastrous as a wedding is interrupted, suspicious deaths occur, and Ted's daughter schemes to reunite her parents. Faith is wondering whether they're cruising toward Davy Jones's Locker . . .
 
"Faith Hunter is a delightful amateur sleuth and the quirky characters that inhabit the town of Eden are the perfect complement to her overly inquisitive ways." --Jenn McKinlay, New York Times-bestselling author of Hitting the Books
