    About this audiobook

    From the Queen of Suspense and #1 New York Times bestselling author comes a thrilling mystery aboard a luxurious but deadly cruise.

    Fleeing the disastrous and humiliating last-minute arrest of her fiancé on the eve of their wedding, Celia, an expert on gems and jewelry, is hoping to escape from reality on a glamorous cruise ship.

    But it is not to be. On board in the most luxurious suite is the elderly and world-famous Lady Emily Harworth. Immensely wealthy, Lady Em is the owner of a priceless emerald necklace that she intends to leave to the Smithsonian on her death.

    Three days later Lady Em is found dead—and the necklace is missing. Is it the work of her apparently devoted secretary, or her lawyer-executor, both of whom she had invited on board for the cruise?

    Celia, with the help of her new friends Willy and Alvirah Meehan—who are splurging on their wedding anniversary—sets out to find who the killer is, not realizing that she may have put a target on her back.

      Great book!! I love all of her books, but especially the ones with Elvira and Willy as characters. Mary Higgins Clark remains a favorite author of mine!

    • 4/5
      Very consistent Mary Higgins Clark book. This one had me guessing almost until the end though.
    • 3/5
      All by Myself Alone is a nice mystery story. It takes place today on a very fancy cruise ship. The characters are all believable. The setting is believable. The problem is that one wishes something would happen or that the cruise was over already. All of the characters stories are concluded at the end with the bad guy being caught. It is a nice three star book, not a badf story just not stellar.
    • 4/5
      Amazingly written, full of suspense and not once boring. I finished reading this thriller withing two days as I couldn't put it down.
    • 2/5
      Eh. Not as exciting as her previous books. Too many characters that you didn't care about. Almost silly (but I did keep reading to see how she worked it all out) Eh.
    • 4/5
      One week on a maiden voyage of a luxury ocean liner with the rich and famous. A priceless ancient artifact makes the journey and someone is murdered for it. I felt like the dialogue in this book, at times, was more like interviewer to interviewee; however, I was able to move past that. I liked this story. Even though I was right about who the murderer was, I found myself wavering throughout guessing is it this person or is it this person? Mary Higgins Clark is one of my favorite authors of all time and I would definitely recommend this book.
    • 5/5
      Another great Mary Higgins Clark novel. :)
    • 3/5
      Not much substance to this book. Characters were moderately developed and the storyline had a few twists. All-in-all, a good, no brain needed, who dunit.
    • 3/5
      Typical MHC. You know what you're getting when you pick up a book of hers to read.Some very entertaining edits made by an earlier reader in the book, and are documented in my instagram feed (bookczuk).
    • 4/5
      A quick, fun read that takes us on a first class voyage on the high seas. Lady Emily Haywood travels aboard a new luxury ocean liner, the Queen Charlotte, and plans to wear her priceless emerald necklace. Several of the guests have interests in it, and several would do anything to have it. Joining the cruise are Mary Higgins Clark favorites, Alvirah and Willy Meehan, her lottery winning sleuths who help solve the crime. Excellent reading.
