[tgraue-1 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Another fun adventure for our elderly hero. You have to enjoy the humor - most of it makes you want to groan. I really enjoyed the descriptions of the cruise to Alaska which was exactly like the one I took. So it brought back good memories of the place.

In Befeler’s mystery novel, Paul Jacobson is on his honeymoon with his seventy-something bride when a body is found in Seattle—the body of someone Paul had words with. Cruising through Alaska, there is another murder on the ship and suddenly Paul finds himself in the middle of another mystery. Now if he can just stay out of jail he just might solve it.A witty mystery and great addition to the A Paul Jacobson Geezer-Lit Mystery series.

The story line was great. I wasn't sure who the killer was until the final chapters. The author did a great job connecting previous stories with this one.
