"crazy paranormal romantic romp"
In 1925 on the luxurious SS Majestic that he owns, Randolph
St. Croix breaks off his engagement to Eloise Hogue to
propose to flapper Daisy Alton. She accepts his family
heirloom, a six carat fire opal in the center of diamonds,
as an engagement gift. Not long afterward, Daisy allegedly
killed Randolph and committed suicide. No gun was found and
the SS Majestic went into mothballs as no one wanted to
ride a vessel allegedly haunted by the killer ghost. The great nephew of Randolph, Sexton St. Croix, takes the
SS Majestic out to sea on a five day psychic cruise that he
figures will end the nonsense. He brings with him one
supposedly reputable ESP whiz, Bree Emery, who resides in
Daisy's cabin, unchanged since 1925. Though attracted to
the skeptical Randolph especially after viewing his homage
to the Big Mac, following contact with Daisy, Bree believes
the ill fated dancer and her beloved were murdered by a
third party. To free the ghost, she must solve the
homicides while other psychics dance the high wire of
shams. Randolph scoffs at her firmly convinced Daisy
murdered his relative. No one does crazy romantic romps that have readers laughing
one moment and feeling the passion the next than Kate
Angell does. Her latest tale is a fabulous paranormal
romance with a wonderful historical who-done- it. The story
line is hilarious and ardent from the Big Mac to the
ghostly high wire as a cruse ship has not ever been quite
as majestic as this one. Fans will treasure the modern day
romance between the clairvoyant and the skeptic, and the
love story that transcends time. Reviewed by Harriet Klausner
