Without a Clue by Melissa Ferguson is a squeaky clean mystery book that I highly recommend. It was probably one of my top fiction reads next year. Picture the perfect blend of Murder on the Orient Express, Knives Out, and Clue. It’ll be published next month, so be sure to pre-order a copy!

“It’s that bad isn’t it?”
“Perhaps a double shot of espresso. We don’t typically allow triple shots given the number of pacemakers on board, but just this once, I could slip you a third upon request.”
Growing up, one of my favorite books was “Cherry Ames, Cruise Nurse“. Without a Clue by Melissa Ferguson reminded me of that one. They’re both mysteries that take place on a cruise ship. I’ve read a number of Melissa Ferguson’s books now, and this one is my favorite. It tells the story of Pip, the assistant to an eclectic group of well-known authors. After organizing a cruise for them and all their fans, she finds the body of her boss, Hugh. The most likely suspects are the other authors, people she thought she knew and trusted. Overall, this book was the perfect blend of mystery, romance, and comedy! I definitely recommend it.
A few of my favorite things…
- the fancy cruise ship setting
- author MC’s
- a protective and manly male MC
- a mystery that kept me guessing the whole time
I didn’t care for…
- I can’t think of anything!
Know that…
- a man sleeps in a woman’s room to protect her from the lurking murderer, nothing sexual
- the romance doesn’t go further than a few kisses (nothing over-the-top)
Perfect for…
Any women looking for a lighthearted mystery that will keep them guessing!
