Description:When Patricia Fisher
finds her husband in bed with her best friend, she doesn’t react like
most women might. But her hilarious and inspired flight from that
situation results in this 50 something unfulfilled housewife taking an
around the world cruise she really cannot afford.
The cost is
soon a minor worry though, as one gin-fuelled pity party later, she is
accused of murder and embroiled in the 30-year-old theft of a priceless
jewel.
In our greatest challenges, we find our true strength
and Patricia is the best example of how true that is. Let her story make
your heart soar as she shrugs off the ashes of her failed marriage and
becomes the incredible woman she was always meant to be.
This 4
book boxed set will give you hours of mirth-filled, often
pulse-pounding, cozy mystery with no cussing or smuttiness and no
graphic descriptions of sex of violence.
Book 1 – The
Missing Sapphire of Zangrabar. A thirty-year-old priceless jewel theft
and a man that really has been stabbed in the back. Can a 52-year-old,
slightly plump housewife unravel the mystery in time to save herself
from jail? With only a Jamaican butler faking an English accent and a
pretty gym instructor to help, she must piece together the clues and do
it fast. Or when she gets off the ship in St Kitts, she’ll be in cuffs!
Book 2 – The Kidnapped Bride. A cruise ship filled with
gangsters, a missing woman, and a new head of security that can’t do his
job. What’s a middle-aged sleuth to do? Patricia just wants to
spend more time in the company of Alistair Huntley, the offensively
handsome captain of the Aurelia who seems only too happy to host her.
But as the Aurelia sets sail from Miami, it does so with a dangerous new
addition: there is a mob boss among the passengers and he’s on the run –
from more mobsters!
Book 3 – The Director’s Cut. It’s well
known that working in movies can be cutthroat, but no one expected that
to be taken literally. It’s party time on board the Aurelia! On the
LA to Hawaii leg, a Hollywood film crew are shooting scenes for a new
action movie and Barbie has been given a bit-part role. It’s all great
fun and Patricia isn’t surprised when her cute, blonde friend attracts
the attention of the handsome A-lister male lead.
Book 4 – The Couple in Cabin 2124. How do I always attract trouble and drama?
When a crewmember takes his own life but hands Patricia a cryptic note
and a request to save Anna just before he jumps, she feels she has no
choice but to honour his dying wish. Who is Anna though?
Praise for Patricia Fisher:
She's
over 50, feisty and oh so clever at solving murders. This first book
has so many twists, turns and red herrings the reader has to pay close
attention to catch all the clues.
Love Steve Higgs’ books and this
new series did not disappoint. Patricia started out as a betrayed wife
and moved into a strong, smart woman role. I love her and her side kicks
already and this is only the first book. Can’t get enough of Steve’s
stories and wait anxiously for the next to publish in all of his series.
Higgs continues the 'cozy mystery' genre in this unexpected and
empowering new series with no loss of empathy for human variety.
