Tricia and Angelica leave Booktown behind for a pleasure cruise, but they’re going to need their life jackets because a murderer has also booked passage—in Lorna Barrett’s New York Times bestselling series.
While her bookstore, Haven’t Got a Clue, is rebuilt following a devastating fire, Tricia Miles and her sister, Angelica, decide to book a cruise for some much needed R&R. Naturally they choose a Mystery Lovers cruise, where they can ponder whodunnit in Adirondack chairs while sipping colorful drinks and soaking up some rays.
But the fun is cut short when a fellow passenger is murdered for real. Is the killer a famous mystery author, one of his fans, or a member of the ship’s crew? As Tricia tries to find the killer before they reach port, she may be cruising for a bruising. . .

About the author
The immensely popular Booktown Mystery series is what put Lorna Barrett’s name on the New York Times Bestseller list, but it’s her talent — whether writing as Lorna, or L.L. Bartlett, or Lorraine Bartlett — that keeps her there. This multi-published, Agatha-nominated author pens the exciting Jeff Resnick Mysteries as well as the acclaimed Victoria Square Mystery series and has many short stories and novellas to her name(s). Lorraine lives in Rochester, NY with her husband.

I have really enjoyed everything that I have read by Lorna/Lorraine but I know I have missed a few and would love to win anything that she wrote that I don’t already have. Tidal Wave sure sounds interesting too; thank you for the great posting Dru Ann.

Love this series! I would really like to win a copy of Title Wave. Thanks so much for the giveaway.
Guess I wasn’t paying attention. A Fatal Chapter would be great to win.
New series. New author. You know how to keep me excited. Would love to read this, get to know Tricia and how she handles the case. Love that “cruising for a bruising”. Brings back memories. When we were kids and misbehaved my Mom would tell us “Your cruising for a bruising” and we knew to settle down. Used it with my kids as well. Looking forward to reading this. So hoping it will be sooner. Rather than later
