Synopsis
Mystery maven Mary Higgins Clark joins forces with her daughter Carol to tell a Christmas caper set aboard the cruise ship the Royal Mermaid. Onboard are 400 'Do-Gooders of the Year' and also two notoriously bad seeds, the escaped convicts Bull's-Eye Tony Pinto and Barron Highbridge who are trying to get out of the country. Now it's up to the Oklahoma Readers and Writers Group and the philanthropist Alvirah Meehan to foil the nefarious schemes of the criminal duo.

Reviews
I found this book extremely boring. I kept thinking it would get more interesting, but it did not. The author that reads the book, reads it like a children's story with over exaggerrated expression. I regret that I cannot get back the time I lost listening to it. I do not want to give it any stars, but I had to in order to submit this review.
This is definately the worst mystery ever written. The writing is pathetic, the reading of the 'novel' is without luster and it it should be catagorized in the young readers section. It is time for Carol Higgins Clark to seriously consider changing careers.
Yikes! I've always been a big fan of Mary Higgins Clark, but this book is killing me. It reads like a bad episode of The Love Boat. The painful narration does not help. I'm sure Carol Higgins Clark tried hard, but they should have at least hired a professional reader. That might have helped sell the cheesy plot.
