Review: The Wayward Wind: Sailing New Seas: The Cozy Cruise Mysteries Book Fifteen

The Wayward Wind: Sailing New Seas: The Cozy Cruise Mysteries Book Fifteen by Lizzie Josephson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

full of criminal activity

This installment finds Cosmos cruise in Sri Lanka and Madagascar. There are several men who believe themselves to be charming, the ladies don’t agree so much. I be finds himself dead in the pool which is unusual for this cozy series as the crimes are usually non murder. It has some good plot twists on the sailing toward Capetown
