Mildred Petrie, aka G-ma, undercover security septuagenarian at Ivory Winds Casino, embarks on an all-expenses-paid Caribbean cruise with three out of four longtime friends. Courtesy of the casino, it’s a combination working vacation to scout out an investment opportunity for Ivory Winds, and to scatter Janice’s ashes at sea.
What ensues delights Mildred’s diehard fans as she steps up her game to track a suspected pedophile on the ship, and in the process, all pertinent hands on deck—Bea, Susan, Officer Buza, Girl Scout Troop 442, and her FBI contacts uncover an operation involving the trafficking of guns, drugs, and explosives.
Witty repartee, the dispelling of old-lady stereotypes, elements of danger, and forging new friendships keep the pages turning in this highly entertaining crime fiction.
A shout-out to those five girl scouts who are tough cookies in this shipshape novel worth booking passage.
