A Cruise to Die for
A Cruise to Die for | Aaron J. Elkins, Charlotte Elkins
5 posts | 3 read | 2 to read
This should be the cushiest job Alix London's ever had. Surrounded by art and wealth and the sun-drenched Greek isles, she's aboard a sumptuous mega-yacht with no responsibilities save the occasional lecture to the guests of her temporary employer, Panos Papadakis, one of the world's richest men. But there's a catch: she's there as an undercover operative of FBI special agent Ted Ellesworth, a member of the Bureau's Art Crime Team. They hope Alix can gather the inside information they need to finally put the cagey Papadakis away. Moguls, murders, a forged Manet, and the Albanian mafia all play a role and send this pleasure cruise into murderously dangerous waters. The second Alix London mystery finds the art restorer in a world brimming with idle luxury, spectacular locations, and deadly intrigue, all served up with the style and sophistication with which Charlotte and Aaron Elkins have rewarded mystery fans for the past 30 years.

Pickpick

This book was between a pick and so-so. Maybe 3.75 stars. I didn't hate it, I just thought the who-done-it was a bit of a let down and kind of unbelieveable. Always enjoy the repartee between Alix London, the MC, and her reformed art-forger father. Full review at www.janecairns.com.
