Shattered at Sea

Glass shop owner Savannah Webb has a change of venue and spends a week on board a cruise ship. In Shattered at Sea by Cheryl Hollon, Savannah and Edward are heading to the Mediterranean after a visit with his parents. Lucky Savannah has been hired to do glassblowing demonstrations on the ship. (Shattered at Sea will be released on August 28.) 

It has been a while since she has actually blown glass, but that doesn't deter her. After a few practice tries, Savannah is able to produce some interesting pieces that will be auctioned at the end of the cruise. Trying to get the hang of the delicate art on a moving ship seems to be only one of the issues she has to deal with.

The second is the disappearance of Edward's cousin Ian after the first night of the cruise. The security staff are not too worried as they think Ian hooked up with a woman and will surface in his own time. After several days of no sight of Ian, Savannah becomes more worried especially as she discovers Ian was taking anti-depressant medication and has not been taking it.

Could he have jumped off the ship or is something else going on?
Suspicion turns toward Edward, but Savannah cannot believe her boyfriend could be involved in his cousin's disappearance. She doubles down on her investigation.

When Edward reveals some difficult things from his youth, Savannah starts to piece together what may have happened to Ian and it might include someone on the ship.

Someday I would love to be a a cruise shop with glass blowing demonstrations. I can only hope Savannah shows up on one of my cruises.

Thank you so much for featuring the latest Webb's Glass Shop Mystery. I actually took a cruise on one of the Celebrity ships that feature a glass-blowing hot shop. Research is such fun!
