An action packed mystery thriller as Sasha and Leo take off on a luxury cruise.
The new parents are gifted tickets for an Asian cruise and leave their twins at home as they set off for some time alone. Seeing the sights and delighting in the cuisine and culture is not in the cards, however, when Sasha sees a murder from the ship out in international waters. The terrible atrocities of slave labor on fishing boats and heroin trafficking cause an awakened sense of social justice as they try to right some horrible consequences of desperation and poverty.
Not much legal action in this one, but it was fast paced and interesting as always. The author tackles a huge issue and puts Sasha and Leo well into a complicated mess involving obscure maritime law. Fortunately, Sasha has the brains to figure it out and the Krav Maga skills to stay alive while preventing some hired mercenaries from killing her. Meanwhile, Leo is off doing a much needed rescue. So, they don’t spend much time having fun but there is more than enough romance between the pages to satisfy those who enjoy that.
I’d really like to see some change and growth in the characters other than the development of a social conscience. Surely we already know enough about her coffee addiction and athletic prowess and how Leo has to be the world’s best supportive husband in a minor role. Anyway, still enjoying the series as I head to read the next installment in my Sasha binge.
This is a series that should be read in order.
