My Review: A travel excursion with suspicious murders that involves eccentric seniors made for an enjoyable read. This novel is light and funny without being a hard thriller read. The characters definitely remind you of seniors right in your neighborhood. How the author chose to describe each character within the story line was creative, especially since it was twenty-five of them. I enjoyed the travel descriptions of places which kept you in the travel mood while engaging you with a flow of characters who may be suspects to the mystery murders.
The book cover: Great book cover: death traveling on shore!! and he has a suitcase! I didnt know rather to laugh or be scared.

ReplyDeleteAww this would be an awesome read. I love seniors. I used to work in a retirement home and the seniors surely kept me entertained. And the fact that they are on a cruise and in the midst of a mystery...probably makes for some interesting and hilarious situations.

ReplyDeletehi Sidne, I'm a twitter follower. caught your tweet on this novel and had to read the review, my aunt would love to take a copy on her upcoming cruise. She reads quite a bit while on the cruise.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sidne, for the great review! I'm so glad you liked Shore Excursion! I think the cover is eye-catching too! I hope that you will follow Sidney Marsh on all her adventures. The next one, Game Drive, is set in Cape Town and on safari in South Africa and it should be out by the end of 2012. Thanks so much. I really appreciate your kind words!
