Out of the blue, Mark Stewart received a letter in the mail from Skagway, Alaska. A. Prospector 
claimed to know about gold that had been stolen from his great great grandfather in 1898.
At the same time the Stewarts were preparing for their voyage, Ox and Judy De Marce, invited my wife, Maggie, and I on an Alaskan Cruise for their honeymoon. We’d only been married a year ourselves and had never been on a cruise. Sounded great.
Amy Stewart had kept the letter from A. Prospector and did some research. His facts were true and accurate. After talking with him over the computer, Amy and Mark decided some family history and cruising would go good together, so they were on their way.
As the Stewarts prepared for the cruise, others were making plans of their own. They had hacked into Quimby’s, A Prospector’s, email account to keep track of what he was up to.
One slip up while packing, will cause them grief. I loved that he put in their fiasco through airport security.
All six of them met for the first time at the airport and found out they were taking the same cruise. But if they thought it was going to be a vacation, they had another thing coming.
5 STARS – Would Highly Recommend To Others
A humorous mystery novel that made me think of Janet Evanovich‘s books. I had been immediately attracted to the book by the title and cover. The blurb made me know it was going to be an adventure with plenty of murder and mystery told in a light-hearted way. I love the “noir” type of book.
The guys are typical guys and the same goes for the women. Whatever the gals wanted the guys went along with. They dressed up for cruise dinners and socialized with the other passengers. I’ve been on cruises, so I know the program.
I love adventure novels and treasure hunting. This book contained all the elements. There were multiple story lines and it was action packed.
I loved the reference to Clint Eastwood in Rawhide – herding cows. “Move ’em out, head ’em up, head ’em up, move ’em on, move ’em out, head ’em up – Rawhide. I remember watching the TV show and singing along.
My husband and I joke all the time about following the herd.
The author made other references to the old westerns. It seemed to describe the places in the book in a great way. Skagway was Dodge City and Tombstone rolled into one.
Quimby, the professor who found the map and started the whole thing, reminded me of Indiana Jones. I love references to TV shows and movies. It helps to picture everything in my mind.
When I met Willie, Jerry and Anne, they had me cracking up and kept me laughing. I loved them.
…Just like Timex watches – they take a licking and keep on ticking. Full of clichés, but not too overdone. It is his writing style and added a humorous element, keeping me laughing throughout the book.
He also made me think, that with every page I turned, something would happen. Kept waiting, anticipating. Oh, and it kept me laughing. LOL
Human nature..skew the scales of justice. Those times, the call will go out from Lady Justice for someone to step up and right those scales.
“The bartenders have concocted a special drink just for the cruise. It’s made of Viagra and prune juice. They call it the ‘Get up and Go!'”
I won this signed paperback on Robert Thornhill’s Website.
