It's Murder, On a Galapagos Cruise: A Cozy Cruise Ship Mystery of Intrigue, Murder, and Maritime Mayhem (Miss Riddell Cozy Mysteries Book 10) Kindle Edition

by P.C. James (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars (219)

A trip of a lifetime turns deadly when a sleuth uncovers a body. Can she follow the clues to their bloody end before she meets a watery grave?

1988, Ecuador. Seasoned puzzle-solver Pauline Riddell believes in justice. Even on a cruise to the Galapagos Islands with her grieving sister, her keen eye for what’s right and wrong keeps her vigilant. So when a stroll along the deck leads to the discovery of a dead crew member, the middle-aged woman stands her ground and claims foul play.

With the ship’s brand new company desperate to avoid scandal, she agrees to work with a brash young detective to quietly crack the case. But with rumors of a vicious guerrilla group on board and Miss Riddell suspicious of the victim’s real identity, solving this riddle might be the last thing she does.

Can this whip-smart amateur investigator catch a killer without falling to her own untimely end?

It's Murder on a Galapagos Cruise is the thrilling tenth tale in the Miss Riddell Cozy Mysteries series. If you like brilliant heroines, curious crimes, and maritime mayhem, then you’ll love P.C. James’s thought-provoking story.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I’ve always loved mysteries, especially those involving Agatha Christie's Miss Marple. Perhaps because Miss Marple reminds me of my aunts when I was growing up. But Agatha never told us much about Miss Marple's earlier life. While writing my own elderly super-sleuth series, I’m tracing her career from the start. As you’ll see, if you follow the Miss Riddell Cozy Mysteries series.

However, this is my Bio, not Miss Riddell’s, so here goes with all you need to know about me: After retiring, I became a writer and when I’m not feverishly typing on my laptop, you’ll find me running, cycling, walking, and taking wildlife photos wherever and whenever I can. My cozy mystery series begins in northern England because that was my home growing up and that’s also the home of so many great cozy mysteries. Stay with me though because Miss Riddell loves to travel as much as I do and the stories will take us to the many different places around the world I’ve lived in or visited.

    5.0 out of 5 stars An exotic cozy mystery.
    Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2021
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Set aboard a cruise ship touring the beautiful Galapagos Islands, this book is an easy read for fans of cozy mystery. Having enjoyed various Miss Marple and similar mysteries, I was curious to give this author a try. 

    Similar to Marple, the main character, Pauline Riddell, is female and English. So fans of the former will find themselves in familiar territory. The hero is a consulting detective (shades of Sherlock Holmes here), with a reputation for crime solving, which comes in handy when a body is found onboard ship in suspicious circumstances. 

    So if you enjoy a relaxing cozy mystery, written at a gentle pace, this book is well worth a look.

    I loved this second installation of the Miss Riddell cozy mysteries series, it was better than the first in my opinion. It provides excellent escapist reading, (which is why I enjoy cozy mysteries) and makes for a great book to read on a Sunday afternoon. The details of the journey on the Galapagos cruise were always fascinating, particularly when mixed in with the puzzle Pauline was trying to solve. And the subtle details of the historical setting provided a great background. I thoroughly recommend the book, and am already looking forward to the next.

    I love Miss Riddell! This book takes me back to Sunday nights watching J.B. Fletcher outfox both police and murderer.
    Miss Riddell is simply trying to get away from it all with her sister on a Galapagos cruise when a suspicious death forces her into a battle of wits with a fellow passenger who is a police detective.
    In Miss Riddell, P.C. James a quirky and tenacious female sleuth to rival Miss Marple and J.B. Fletcher.
    I enjoyed the read and even went back and read first book in the series!

    I'm hooked on this series. PC James has a winning combination with Miss Riddell's traveling detective series. During a time when we all want to travel but can't, at least we can curl up with a fabulous book and solve the murder mystery together with Pauline. In this case, we get involved on a trip to the amazing galapogos islands with her sister Freda as a challenging side-kick. Unfortunate events follow and Pauline has her hands full. Travel + murder mystery = an easy read.

    Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2021

    I found her two main characters to be dreadfully boring.
    If even one had a zest for people, adventure or life, it would have made a huge difference.
    Pauline was a female version of the character, Arvill, which she complained about is personality and outlook.
    No beautiful descriptions of what is supposed to be a wonderful trip. It certainly didn’t entice me to go or finish the book.
    I read about a third of the book and quit.

    I enjoyed this book. It was a comfortable read, somewhat in the style of The First Lady detective books weaving in landscapes and personalities with the pull of a mystery. I did laugh at miss riddle’s glazed eyes for nature - a sharp contrast to her eye for details of the crime.

    Pauline Riddell returns to delight us with her investigating skills aboard a cruise ship headed for the Galapagos Islands. Paul James blends the detective story with themes of revenge, existence of evil and the force of the past in a prose tinged with dry humor. A cleverly constructed ending brings enjoyment to the most discerning of readers.
