Product Description
In this 6th delightful culinary mystery from Joanne Pence, dilettante chef Angie Amalfi plans a romantic cruise with her hunky boyfriend, but hits rough water when murder becomes part of the itinerary. Food writer and culinary entrepreneur Angie Amalfi imagined a high seas cruise aboard a ship bound for Acapulco with her homicide detective boyfriend Paavo Smith would be heaven. With no crowds or pending police business, it might even provide Paavo the perfect opportunity to propose. But Angie's "Love Boat" fantasy starts springing leaks almost immediately, beginning with the cook's bizarre attempt to jump ship...in the middle of the ocean Add an oddball collection of fellow passengers, yawningly unimaginative onboard meals, Paavo's increasingly bizarre behavior, and the fact that someone's been rifling through her luggage, and Angie's soon ready to leap overboard herself. But it's not until she offers to help out in the galley and murder is abruptly added to the menu that Angie finds herself heading into very dangerous waters indeed.

Maybe it was because I could only read it whenever I could get a few hard won free minutes or maybe it was because I really don't like spy books. Whatever the reason, I did not think this one was as good as her past books. Those I could not put down once started. I made time for reading them. This one I wasn't as compelled to find time. Still, a good read.

~<p~ own cabin is searched and the cook tries to desert. Apparently, the duo has booked the wrong passage because this ship contains a microfilm with Professor Von Mueller's successful research into an alternate form of energy. Everyone wants the results and killing Angie and Paavo is perfectly acceptable if they get in the way. <p~ Paavo remain a fresh couple and the secondary players add much intensity and humor to the tale. Joanne Pence continues to climb the ladder to the top rung as her story line's turn more delicious with each new outing. COOKS OVERBOARD is Ms. Pence's best plot due to the various twists and turns that keep reader's attention throughout the book. An already fabulous series has turned into a gourmet's delight.

Enjoyed watching Angie's plans for great vacation turn to disaster. Also some great scenes when she's mistaken for world's most deadly female assassin. Highly enjoyable.
