I really enjoy Webb's Glass Shop Mysteries, and this one did not disappoint. This story leaves Florida and takes place on the high seas. Glass shop owner Savannah Webb takes a job on a cruise ship for a series of artistic glassblower demonstrations. Before boarding the ship, Savannah and Edward stop in England to visit with his parents and meet the rest of his family. His cousin Ian, has just graduated from University and his parents have gifted him this cruise. No sooner do they board the ship when Ian goes missing. Ian checked in and then vanished. Cruise ship security suspect Ian jumped overboard, but Savannah doesn’t believe he’d take his life. She enlists her friends to aid her in tracking his movements. When Edward is arrested for his disappearance and possible murder, Savannah steps up her investigation calling in her employees over the internet to do what they do best. Was Edward imagining things when he spotted a thug from his past on the ship’s deck? Why has he never shared his shady past with Savannah?

The mystery unfolds amidst glassblowing details and trips to the ship’s buffet. There was a few spots that were a bit slow, but overall this was a well-paced story. I loved that the twins came on the cruise as well and we learned a bit more about them. They were also more involved in this story than in past ones. This light-hearted mystery will have you yearning to go on a cruise and perhaps learn more about glass blowing. Shattered at Sea is a delightful cozy mystery that will keep you turning pages. ( )

Savannah Webb accepts a job on a cruise ship to fill in for a glass blower. She arranges for her boyfriend Edward to come along and after stopping in to see his family, his younger cousin, Ian, comes along for the cruise. Ian d is appears so much of Savannah's off hours are spent trying to find him. Did he go overboard? Is her still here? Is he hiding for some reason?

This was fun because of the look at the other side of cruising - the crew rules and regulations, etc. The characters are still fun and it was great to see the ones left behind at home still got to take part in the investigation. ( )

I really enjoyed this cozy mystery and learned a bit about glass blowing. I received this book for free and I voluntarily chose to review this. I've given this a 5* rating. This has a lot going on, romance, mystery, missing people and a lot of crafty glass blowing. So much to learn about this craft. I imagine it would be an interesting thing to watch. Well, it kept me guessing till almost the end with an happy ending. ( )

When a cancellation offers glass shop owner Savannah Web the opportunity to demonstrate glassblowing on a cruise ship, she can’t pass it up. Savannah, her boyfriend Edward, and his cousin Ian are all set for a week of luxury. No sooner does the cruise set sail, but Ian disappears and is feared to have gone overboard. Did he fall off? Was he pushed? Or did he dive to his death?
While Savannah tries to continue with her glassblowing presentations, she is determined to find out what happened to Ian; especially since Edward seems to be on the top of the suspect list. Secrets hidden in Ian and Edward’s early life come to light and have Savannah questioning the man she knows.

Even though they are on a cruise ship, the author still finds a way to include characters from previous books in this series. Jacob aids (from land) by plotting the ship's course to see where Ian’s body would show up if he went overboard. A few surprise passengers are on hand to lend Savannah assistance at sleuthing, add to the adventure, and bring some humor into the story.

As with other books in this series, the characters are engaging and very dimensional, the mystery keeps you in suspense, there is romance for a number of the characters, and lots of possible suspects to keep you guessing.

Once again Cheryl Hollon has us riveted to our seats in this captivating page turner in her new installment of her Webb's Glass Shop Mystery series in Shattered at Sea.

Savannah and Edward are going on a cruise where Savannah will do her glass blowing which sounds like a good time right? Not when Ian, a cousin to Edward, goes missing and the other artists on board are hard to deal with and then Edward becomes a suspect in the whole mess which really puts a damper on the whole cruise. To salvage the cruise and her relationship Savannah has to solder all the pieces in the puzzle together and hopefully clear Edward while figuring out what really happened.

I just love how we are joining some of the unique characters again to solve a mystery in a thrilling setting aboard a cruise ship while throwing so many curves and suspects in the mix to keep you enthralled till the end. I really enjoyed once again the way the author weaves the glass art into the story which adds an extra uniqueness to it.

I found in this book that Savannah has grown more confident and has evolved more to being a real leader and a smart, bold woman who uses her wits to solve the mystery with the help of her friends. Edward her boyfriend is a mystery himself, one where I find myself questioning his motives at times and wondering if he is hiding something but then I see the good in him and think he can't be bad. The relationship between him and Savannah is growing which is awesome but she has to help clear his name when he becomes the number one suspect. That always puts a damper on a relationship.

I think if you like a good riveting mystery, with strong characters and a unique setting then you will enjoy this book. I can't wait for the next book in the series.

I received this book for my honest opinion and review ( )
