Having read three of the Jake Scott mysteries, it was with great eagerness that I dived into this, the fourth.
As homicide detective Dani Perez's gentle sidekick and romantic partner, retired investigative journalist Jake and her make quite the sleuthing couple. In this, they are getting to the bottom of a murder (or two) on the ocean waves: Jake is a reluctant…very reluctant…passenger on a cruise that Dani persuaded him to 'enjoy'. (I'm with Jake on this one!)
Despite having to battle with jurisdiction protocol and some rather stormy weather (I'm very definitely with Jake!), the pair unearth some likely suspects, but when it gets extremely personal, there's no stopping them.
These crime thrillers are an immense pleasure to: there's always a well-written, meaty plot that runs alongside the very endearing growing relationship between widower Jake and Dani.
'The End' left me sad to have to leave Jake and Dani's company but avidly waiting for their next adventure...on terra firma, I hope, for Jake's sake.
