THE BLURB
New York

Of all the things Harry Chase had imagined in his life, being a drummer on a cruise ship band was not one that would have occurred to him. And yet, there he was. Centre stage, behind a young female singer along with his mates, Dave, Tony and Steve.
Which meant that getting involved in a jewellery theft, an on-board massage parlour and the hunt for an Old Master was even further from his mind as he cracked the snare drum.
And yet, this was exactly how he found himself being questioned by Interpol …..
I was left with mixed feelings when I finished this book,there was parts that I enjoyed and parts that I didn't. The same goes for Harry Chase and his friends,there was some characteristics of their characters that I liked and some that I didn't. I liked Dave,Cara and Liz,i liked the passive - aggressive interactions between Dave and Steve.There was some quite humorous moments scattered throughout the book. I liked the mystery elements of the story,it did keep you guessing and not all the characters were who they appeared to be. For me personally the book was a bit over descriptive at times. There was quite a few times when it felt more like a travel guide than a mystery. As a female there was times when I felt rather uncomfortable due to Harry and Steve's outraged,sexist attitude towards some of the female characters that they encountered whilst on the cruise.
There was references to events from the previous two books scattered throughout the story and despite this being the third book in the series,it can be read as a stand alone.Although I had mixed feelings about this book,I did enjoy it enough to finish it.
