Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Cruise Ship Heist"(2nd Edition) by Stuart St Paul (2023)
In Cruise Ship Heist by Stuart St Paul, Commander Kieron Philips, a retired military man, was headed to a cruise ship en route to the Panama Canals as a commentator. It was an excellent opportunity for him to see his daughter, Auli'I, a dancer on the ship. At the Airport, Kieron observed many strange things that he couldn't explain. Getting to the ship, he found himself millions of dollars richer, and there was no end to the strange occurrences that only seemed to get more suspicious. Not one to leave anything up to chance, his eyes and ears were opened, following anything that seemed like a clue as he was determined to get to the root of everything. One thing was then clear to him, neither his presence at the airport at that particular time nor on the cruise ship was a coincidence. Someone had orchestrated everything; he had been chosen for a reason, and he intended to find out why. The plot of the story was complex and had much depth to it; it presented this giant riddle with many unpredictable facets. The story carried intrigue right from when Commander Kieron Philips was introduced at the airport. His character gave off waves of mystery and intrigue with the peculiar situation in which he found himself… Kieron was the tangy combination of the good cop and the bad cop. He was the guy you wanted in your corner when things got ugly because he wasn't afraid to get his hands dirty. His character stood out because of his keen eye for foul play, bravery, and kindness. More so, the author gave a lot of insight into Kieron's thoughts and the complicated mental process of solving the mystery that lived on the cruise ship. Another impressive character was Hunter Witowski, the cruise ship's head of security. He had a dry humor that belied his tough exterior. He was one character I didn't expect to like, but he became one of my favorites. The characters' dialogues were exciting. It was fun to see the wordplay between the characters, especially with Kieron and his sometimes funny attempts to keep his 'secrets' secret. Cruise Ship Heist was action-packed, suffused with danger, murder, and unpredictability. This was one of those stories that would stay with you for a while, as it delivered mystery and intrigue. The book was fun to read; there was no dull moment, and the entire experience was a rollercoaster ride. I enjoyed every part of Cruise Ship Heist . It was professionally edited, and I disliked nothing in it. Therefore, I'd rate it five out of five stars . Cruise Ship Heist would be appreciated by lovers of mystery and thrillers. NOTE. The two main characters start the agency CSCI and the series progresses with new characters joining the team.
