Product Description

Product Description

George Gaskill, a car salesman from Indiana, goes missing from the stern deck of the Aegean Queen leaving only a pool of blood and a strange note behind. Ollie Osgood, the husband of Dotsy Lamb's best friend Lettie, is the last person to have seen him and one of three men who lost a bundle to George in a Texas Hold'em Poker game. Then the ship's photographer turns up murdered on the beautiful island of Mykonos.
Dotsy wants only to unwind and to renew her promising relationship with Marco Quattrocchi, the Carabinieri captain she met in Italy three years ago, but since Ollie is the prime suspect in George's disappearance and Marco is embroiled in the photographer's murder, she can't.
The Aegean Queen is a ship with a theme--archaeology. Dotsy strikes up a friendship with the ship's guest lecturer, famous archaeologist, Dr. Luc Girard, and introduces him to the ship's klutziest dancer, Sophie Antonakos. With the help of Lettie Osgood's amazing powers of observation, Dotsy, Sophie, and Luc discover antiquities in the ship's display cases that have been looted from museums or smuggled from their homelands.
The trails of murder and theft converge on the island of Crete where Dotsy finds herself dodging bullets from the gun of a man she doesn't even know.

3.0 out of 5 stars Pleasant diversion 1 Sep 2012
By Combat Wombat TOP 1000 REVIEWER
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
The Product Description pretty much tells you everything about this competent little mystery.

It tells it's story nicely with few worries about getting bogged down in the detail. Which is a little sad, it feels rushed as if it was written and must be read in one sitting. It deserves more, the style is very comfortable and it would have been nice to have lost a weekend in Dotsy's world :)

All in all a successful series worth reading. CW.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not a Pleasure Cruise 16 July 2010
By Ted Feit - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
The third Dotsy Lamb Travel Mystery takes the protagonist on a cruise among the Greek islands, along with her friends and Captain Marco Quattrocchi, the Carabinieri captain she previously met in Florence in an earlier installment. Early on Dotsy discovers a pool of blood on a deck, and when no other answer presents itself, a passenger is presumed to have been murdered and thrown overboard.

Another plot theme involves illegally stolen antiquities, some of which are on display on the ship in showcases. What should have been a relaxing cruise turns out to be one continuous trial about murder and theft, all coming together on Crete where, of course, Dotsy puts it all together.

This is the third novel in the series, all of which are quick reads, simple but well put together, although kind of cutesy. But that is the character Dotsy is supposed to be, so one has no quarrel with that.

Recommended.

I really enjoyed this story and believable characters and I learnt a bit about archeology as a bonus. If you enjoy a mystery give this author a read.
