A cruise ship cozy mystery with a missing youth counselor, chaotic Kids Club duty, tropical hijinks, and one scene-stealing parrot.

Olivia Morgan can handle magic tricks, murder, and one very dramatic parrot.

Forty-seven children may be pushing it.

Olivia’s cruise ship life is busy enough with evening magic shows, shipboard romance, and Chico, her rescue parrot, acting like he owns the spotlight.

Then the ship’s youth counselor vanishes.

Before Olivia can say “absolutely not,” she, Hayley, and Rachel are recruited to run the Kids Club. Goodbye cocktails by the pool. Hello toddlers, tantrums, pirate games, and ball-pit warfare.

Then Olivia finds a body.

Worse, it disappears before handsome security officer Alex Ballas arrives.

Now Olivia has a missing crew member, a possible murder, and a room full of children with more energy than the ship’s engines. And when another body turns up in the theater, this cruise stops looking like kid duty and starts looking like killer duty.

If Olivia doesn’t untangle the case fast, someone onboard may make her vanish next.

Afraid Knot is Book 4 in the Olivia Morgan Cruise Ship Mystery series. Perfect for readers who love clean cozy mysteries, cruise ship settings, animal sidekicks, backstage chaos, light romance, and high-seas hijinks.
