Book 4: Deadly Deception

Life on board Siren of the Seas has been smooth sailing for Millie Sanders, but that soon changes when diva, Ariana Teliar boards as the ship's new entertainer and "star attraction."

Unfortunately, Millie has been given the task of showing Ariana the ropes. When Ariana discovers a dead body on her balcony, Millie’s “task” changes to protecting the diva’s life 24 hours a day! The only problem is, Ariana has a penchant for disappearing and Millie is forced to chase her down.

When Ariana leads Millie and her friends on a wild goose chase thru Mayan ruins deep into the rainforest, and they end up getting lost, it's the last straw for Millie. Just as Millie is ready to set the young performer straight, she discovers a deadly deception that puts Millie's own life in danger.

Can Millie sort through the clues that point to the killer(s) and solve the mystery before it’s too late?


Book 5: Vanishing Vacationers

With a fresh wave of passengers soon to board the Siren of the Seas, Assistant Cruise Director Millie Sanders is shocked when she discovers she has a new roommate and fit to be tied when she learns the new roommate is none other than Danielle Kneldon, her former charge and nemesis!

Danielle’s first assignment is to ensure the ship's special "VIP's," a family who has won a cruise contest, have a wonderful, fun-filled vacation.

Millie discovers her coworker has other plans, which includes searching the small island of Kiriban for a missing family and collecting a hefty reward.

When Danielle, along with two of the VIP guests, vanish on the mysterious island, Millie is forced to face her fears and join the search. She enlists the help of her friends and soon they find themselves in a deadly adventure of a lifetime.

Will Millie and the gang track down Danielle and the missing passengers before the ship leaves port or will they become the next victims of the island's curse?


Book 6: Cruise Control

The long anticipated, epic cruise adventure is finally here! Two worlds collide when Gloria and the Garden Girls meet up with Gloria's cousin, Assistant Cruise Director, Millie Sanders and her crew aboard the passenger cruise ship, "Siren of the Seas."

Almost immediately, suspicions are raised when a group of mysterious passengers board and then head straight to the bridge for a private meeting with the captain. Not long after, Andy Walker, Millie's boss, tells her the ship will have some "temporary" staff boarding for this cruise, something that has never happened before.

Later, after the ship sets sail, Millie stops by to greet the captain and Scout, and sparks fly when the captain invites Millie to dine with him in his apartment the following evening. When Millie arrives for her dinner date the next night, she discovers the bridge is locked and no one will answer the door.

At first, Millie is heartbroken, believing she has been stood up, but soon discovers that something sinister is going on inside the bridge after communications onboard are cut off and the ship stops moving.

Will Millie and her friends, with some help from Gloria and the Garden Girls, be able to figure out who has taken control of their cruise…or will they all become dead in the water?

    Deadly Deception-Cruise Ship Christian Cozy Mysteries-4

    On this venture Deadly deception defines the new diva the ship has hired to sing. Ariana Teller is one pain in the ass for Millie because she is the one that has to take care of her. She has her own suite by the theater. Her assistants are no help either.
    When Millie finds out she's there for protection and she has to make sure she's safe. When Ariana delves into the Mayan ruins, Millie is at her wits end.
    One more feather in the cap for Ms Callaghan.

    Vanishing Vacationers -Cruise Ship Christian Cozy Mysteries by Hope Callaghan

    I'd hope you've started from book one so i'm not explaining the concept of the series. You CAN start out of sync but might be a bit lost.
    In this venture out, Millie gets a new roommate, who is the 'singer' Danielle, who happened to be a special agent and they mix like vinegar and water. She's not happy.
    The ship is stopping at a new island. One Millie finds out has had some vacationers vanish so she is unsure of going there.
    Danielle's first job is taking care of some VIPS that won a cruise. Three kids and their grandma. Danielle is determined to take the boys onto the island amidst Millie's insistence that she doesn't. They strike a deal, or so she thinks. Danielle follows through to ditch the boys, but the see her and follow her onto the island. Once she realizes they followed her she has no choice but to take them.
    They end up disappearing just like everyone else did. Millie and Annette go to try to find them. To no avail. Then security gets involved.
    Another lovely quirky mystery from Ms Callaghan.

    Cruise Ship Cozy mystery Cruise Control Hope Callaghan

    In this frolic, Millie welcomes her cousin Gloria from the Garden Girls to the ship. What starts out as a fun adventure turns in to Gloria helping Millie out in trying to figure out who the strange men are that are aboard, and why the bridge is locked up and no one is answering. Millie find she enjoys the Captains company and loves taking care of his tiny Yorkie, Scout. Because the Captain had invited her for dinner she is confuddled as to why the Bridge would be locked.
    Of course Gloria and Annette bond because of all their spy equipment! And Millie likes the help her cousin and friends are giving her. She wants to figure this out because, well, thats just what she does!

    This trilogy is full of drama, surprises, and amazing twists in the plot. Connected from one end to the next, Hope Callaghan keeps one's interest, the romance, and the story going down Route I-95. Millie's life hardly skips a beat even though the ship's captain and their special romance are kept on hold while he is off the ship on a brief vacation. When he returns, a surprise awaits, but it is not his heart that is captured, but the entire ship. One must read this exciting trilogy to fill in the blanks. Your time will not be disappointed

    Millie does it again! So suspenseful that I couldn't put it down! First the ship is hijacked by terrorists but Millie's cousin Gloria has the suite over the Captain's apartment. The antics the ladies get into by scaling the balcony, crawling along catwalks to shoot the terrorists in the engine room, and spying on the bridge are fascinating. Even Danielle manages to get shot at, rendered unconscious and kidnapped! Millie's romance with the Captain takes a leap forward in the aftermath of the grave danger the Captain faced. Absolutely fabulous book! Each book in this series just gets better and better.
