Product Description
~ First of the award winning Darcy Cavanaugh mysteries ~
Don?t ask ER nurse Darcy Cavanaugh why she?s climbing the gangway of a cruise ship---she?ll mutter something about job burnout, Firefighter Sam, and that unfortunate incident with a peanut butter sandwich. A fall foliage tour with champagne, tuxedoes and glittery gowns is the perfect escape.
But when jewel theft and shipboard murder point a finger of suspicion at her best friend, Darcy fights a tidal wave of trouble to investigate. She can handle a sea of eccentric elderly suspects, but the handsome young dance host makes her dash for a lifejacket. Are his arms a safe berth, or leading her to Tango with a killer? It looks as if Darcy may be next to walk the plank.
". . . smart, snappy prose . . ."--Publishers Weekly
? Calvert?s debut folds mystery and romance into a valentine to the cruising experience.? --Kirkus Reviews

 Cruising, Romance and Mystery: what more do you need? October 3, 2008

I love cruising and reading mysteries about cruising. On recommendations from other cruise enthusiasts' I downloaded Dressed to Keel to my Kindle. I couldn't be more delighted with this book and Candy Calvert's writing.
The background and setting is fun and entertaining. I thoroughly enjoyed Ms. Calvert's descriptions of cruising and the ports of calls. The characters are interesting, totally believable and witty. The story itself was well written and easy to follow. Ms. Calvert has the ability to combine romance, mystery and action very well.
If you're looking for a fun, lighthearted mystery, download this today. I personally can't wait to read the next book in the series on my Kindle.
 If you love to go on Cruises, You will enjoy this book! November 6, 2009

I have all 3 of Candy Calvert's Books and did enjoy her first Book "Dressed to Keel". As a person who has done many cruises, I enjoyed the fast read of this book. I do however, have to give it 3 stars because the story could have really been told in about 4 chapters! The book was enjoyable to read and because I like cruising I read it in 2 days!
