Cruising For Murder (Morgan Taylor Mystery #2)
by Susan Sussman Sarajane AvidonWhen the curtains open on Morgan Taylor's second adventure, the Chicago actress is restless with a capital R. For eight months she has been hard at work starring in Rent, and the run has been good, but grueling. Between Morgan's growing boredom and the fact that her year-old relationship with homicide detective John Roblings is going almost too well, she's got an old-fashioned case of cabin fever. Add the harsh snowy weather and it's more than one showgirl can bear. Enter longtime friend Kathy Bloch, who's about to leave port as part of a cruise ship's entertainment cast. When Kathy calls Morgan to see if she'd want to replace a last-minute deserter in the cast, Morgan jumps at the chance to trade the big city for the open seas. Meeting Kathy and the Island Star in Miami, Morgan is greeted by palm trees, sunny skies, and the news that her predecessor, Angela Parker, was murdered aboard the ship. And it appears not everyone is pleased to see Morgan join the cast. Chorus girl and magician's assistant Jackie takes every opportunity to point out that she should be the star. So when another entertainer is found dead, it looks as if Morgan's three weeks of show tunes and suntans are not going to be the vacation that she had hoped.
