This morning I finished Santa Cruise by Mary Higgins Clark and Carol Higgins Clark. This the fourth book written by the mother-daughter pair, combining characters from their books.
This time, Alvirah and Willy, lotter-winners-turned-amateur-sleuths, win a cruise on the Royal Mermaid's maiden cruise. The invite as their guests Jack and Regan Reilly and her parents Nora and Luke along. The cruise, supposed to be a public relations event, quickly turns into a mystery cruise after guests report seeing ghosts, Santa suits are missing, and other strange events happen.
The book is a fun and fast read (261 pages). Chapters are normally short and the action is swift. It concludes in a totally predictable ending, my only disappointment, though the plot development has twists and turns you would not expect.
My next read will be The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan, another children's novel.
