A cruise ship is an intriguing place to have a mystery. It’s even better in Alaska in the book Stranded by Dani Pettrey. Darcy St. James wants to help her reporter friend on an Alaskan cruise. After boarding the cruise ship, Darcy’s friend disappears.
On this trip, Darcy runs into Gage McKenna again. He is in charge of some of the cruise excursions. Darcy and Gage met before while trying to solve a murder mystery in the previous book, Shattered. There are unresolved feelings from their last meeting so you have tension right away when they see each other again on the cruise. One major problem between them is Darcy’s faith in God. Gage’s past personal tragedy causes him to doubt the goodness of God.
Explanation from the cruise staff about the disappearance of Darcy’s friend are not satisfactory. Darcy digs deeper with help from Gage. They find more disappearances and even murder. The pursuit of the truth puts them in danger from an unknown source. The reason for the disappearances are disturbing and sad. It reminded me of terrible things that are actually going on in this world. Despite the sinister things happening in the background, I thought the overnight excursions were a great idea. The whole cruise was truly set for adventure.
Pettrey has woven together a great mystery again in Stranded, book three of the Alaskan Courage series. I wanted to keep reading. I was nervous when I knew the bad guy was close. I cheered when the good guys came to the rescue. I am enjoying this series about the McKenna family. It’s like a great mini-series.
Once you start the series, you will be looking for the next book. I cannot wait to read Silenced. You can read more about the author, Dani Pettrey and this series on her website.
