A cruise ship filled with gangsters, a missing woman, and a new head of security that can't do his job. What's a middle-aged sleuth to do? Patricia just wants to spend more time in the company of Alistair Huntley, the offensively handsome captain of the Aurelia who seems only too happy to host her. But as the Aurelia sets sail from Miami, it does so with a dangerous new addition: there is a mob boss among the passengers and he's on the run - from more mobsters! Any romantic notions are soon put aside when the mobster's reluctant-looking bride-to-be goes missing and Patricia is unexpectedly volunteered to solve the mystery of her disappearance. There's a cryptic ransom note where the missing woman should be and one of her bodyguards is soon found - with a hole in his head! Regretting her decision to help out, it's not long before the opposing mobster factions take an interest in Patricia's involvement. Someone has the missing bride, everyone wants her, and they all think Patricia knows where she is. With ever-faithful butler, Jermaine, at her side and perfect blonde, Barbie, to distract the men, Patricia will still have to go all out to unravel the riddle before anyone else turns up dead. Where is the kidnapped bride? Find out for yourself as you take another hilarious, action-filled voyage with Patricia Fisher. The Kidnapped Bride is the second in a 10-book series as Patricia Fisher rediscovers herself, uncovers a skill for unravelling mysteries, and from the ashes of her marriage, becomes the phoenix she was always meant to be. Don't miss this funny cozy mystery series. Author guarantee: This series contains no cussing and no graphic descriptions of sex of violence.… (mer)

What a convoluted mess. While I still like the series, I felt this story was just way over the top...too many gangsters to keep track of.
The story opens with the cruise ship about to leave Miami. Patty and her new friend Lady Mary get back to the ship in the nick of time. They witness the arrival of a party who looks rather shady. Lady Mary, her husband, Patty and some of the new arrivals they witness boarding are all at the Captain's table. Patty tries to communicate with a young lady but doesn't get far. Later that evening, this young lady, Cari (the bride) has been kidnapped. The new 2nd in charge, Mr. Rutherford asks Patty to help him find the missing bride as he doesn't have a clue. Through lots of interactions between rival mafia members, Patty learns the truth. ( )

situational-humor, verbal-humor, gangsters, friendship, suspense

Mrs Fisher has some really nice friends that she acquired since coming aboard the cruise ship and angrily scheduling an around the world cruise after catching her long term husband cheating with her best friend. When she reboards in Florida, she encounters a rather nasty man and his trophy fiancee. But when the girl disappears, the insanity begins to build as several different groups of gangsters converge on Mrs Fisher demanding that she find what they want. Like all of Higgs' books, this is hilarious! The language is unremarkable and the violence is not graphic, but the plots and plans are right out of Hollywood. ( )
