Drama Cruise: A Nicky & Noah Mystery - Volume 3 written by Joe Cosentiono narrated by Brad Enright | Cat's Review & #giveaway @JoeCosen


Drama Cruise: A Nicky & Noah Mystery - Volume 3

Theater professors and couple, Nicky Abbondanza and Noah Oliver, are going overboard as usual, but this time on an Alaskan cruise, where dead college theater professors are popping up everywhere, from the swimming pool to the captain's table. Further complicating matters are Nicky's and Noah's parents as surprise cruise passengers, and Nicky's assignment to direct a murder mystery dinner theater show onboard ship. Nicky and Noah will need to use their drama skills to figure out who is bringing the curtain down on vacationers, before it is lights out for the handsome couple. You will be applauding and shouting bravo for Joe Cosentino's fast-paced, ribald, edge-of-your-seat, entertaining, third novel in this delightful series. Curtain up and ship ahoy!

"Loads of laughs, a great cozy on water"
Overall
Performance
Story
I enjoyed this book so much that I had to jump at the chance to listen to it.
Nicky and Noah are college professors and always getting into trouble solving a mystery ( think Nancy Drew or Hardy boys toss in lots of humor some sweet man-love and you have a great story to make you laugh and brighten your day.)

There are lots of quirky characters, twists and turns I never figure out the murderer.
I am on the fence about the narration in this one though. I didn't really like Noah's voice he sounded like a young kid or too girly and one of the women sounded too butch. I think if the two voices had been switched the narration would have been perfect. (yes I know Noah is gay and flamboyant but the voice just didn't work for me.)
