SEE THE PYRAMIDS ALONG THE NILE...
As with so many of the author's books, this is a very enjoyable book of suspense. Although somewhat formulaic, it will keep the reader turning its pages. It is a wholly plot driven book with an interesting storyline. It seems that there is a killer out there who is targeting lonely women on luxury cruise liners.

When Dr. Susan Chandler, radio talk show host and psychologist, decides to dedicate a week of her show to the issue of why women should be safety conscious in social situations, one of her guests on the show is a psychiatrist that specializes in criminology. He has written a book about the suspicious disappearances of women from cases on which he has worked. Dr. Chandler decides to make one of them the focal point of her show. It is a disappearance that has intrigued her from the start, as it involved a wealthy investment advisor, Regina Clausen, who gave investment advice on a cable television show from which Dr. Chandler greatly profited and to whom Dr. Chandler has long felt indebted. . The woman had disappeared from a cruise ship after disembarking in Hong Kong from her cruise ship, never to be seen again.

When a mysterious female caller phones in to the show claiming to have information on the investment advisor's disappearance, information that appears to be vital to discovering the killer's identity, Dr. Chandler becomes enmeshed in a web of intrigue. Pursuing leads to discover her mystery caller, Dr. Chandler discover only too late who she was, as it seems that the killer may have gotten to her first. Now, Dr. Chandler finds herself at the epicenter of a killer's determination to tie up all the loose ends surrounding the mystery of the Regina Clausen disappearance.

As with so many of the author's novels of suspense, she deftly weaves her plot, so that the killer could be anyone of a number of people. The fun is in trying to decipher the clues found in the twists and turns the book takes and guessing which one of the men that have crossed Dr. Chandler's path is the killer. This is a very enjoyable quick read that fans of the author, as well as those who enjoy a good suspense novel, will like reading.
