About this listen
Unfortunately, two "rival" yoga groups are booked onto the cruise at the same time, and for such a calm-focused crowd, tempers begin to flare rather quickly.
To make matters worse, a VIP passenger associated with one of the yoga groups is soon found murdered.
Adrienne and her friends waste no time in beginning their investigation. Too bad the killer seems to be keeping a close eye on Adrienne...
Praise for A.R. Winters:
"The perfect balance of being lighthearted, but still a serious page-turning mystery." - Jaycie D, Amazon.com
"A fun cozy mystery with engaging and entertaining characters" - lq, Amazon.com
"For fans of Janet Evanovich, Rhys Bowen and Jana DeLeon, this is a funny, clean mystery." - Clara B, Amazon.com
Calmer Cruises is the twelfth book in the Cruise Ship Mystery Series. Though it can be read as a standalone, it's best read in series order.
This is a humorous cozy mystery featuring a strong female protagonist, some unusual friends and co-workers, and a mystery that needs solving! It has no graphic gore, bad language or sex.
