a holiday mystery at sea

Alvirah Meehan, the lottery winner turned amateur sleuth; her husband, Willy; recently hitched private detective Regan Reilly and her groom, NYPD officer Jack; and Regan's parents, Nora and Luke, are all guests on the Royal Mermaid's maiden voyage, the Santa Cruise. The cruise is Commodore Randolph Weed's gift to a select group of people who in the last year "made the world a better place." What he really wants is good publicity that will generate future bookings for his struggling new venture. He also plans to scatter his mother's ashes at sea during this four-day odyssey in the Caribbean. What he doesn't know is that his ne'er-do-well nephew, Eric, has smuggled two escaping criminals on board. Other passengers include members of the Oklahoma Readers and Writers group, ten men who had donated their time playing Santa Claus during the holiday season, as well as assorted other charitable folk all planning on a restful post-Christmas vacation. They don't get it. Between a possible ghosts, attempted murder, a storm at sea, and shipborne spy bent on turning the cruise into a public-relations nightmare, Alvirah, Regan, Willy, and Jack have their hands full uncovering the clues that will lead them to the dangerous criminals not on the passenger list
