Axel Sandorf, business magnate and visionary, has achieved what others have only dared to dream about: he is cruising the oceans aboard the largest private submarine yacht the world has ever seen.
Penny can’t believe her luck when she, of all people, receives an invitation from the elusive billionaire. It’s supposed to be a pleasure cruise under the sea—but where Penny goes, the first murder attempt isn’t long in coming. Instead of chasing exotic fish, the ambitious young detective is soon facing a poisoner who seems to be outsmarting her at every turn...
Auch der dritte Band der Reihe hat mich wieder sehr gut unterhalten können! In diesem Band erhält Penny eine Einladung auf eine Luxus-Unterseeyacht! Alles ist eigentlich wunderbar, bis ein Gast vergiftet werden soll. Der Anschlag misslingt, doch der Mörder wird es erneut versuchen... Ein Krimi, bei dem man wieder sehr gut mitraten und -rätseln kann. Am Ende gab es für mich ein paar Überraschungen, und alles in allem empfand ich das Buch als sehr unterhaltsam und kurzweilig.
Murder on the Occident Express, Death of a Snoop, and now Deep Dive into Death. Penny Kufer has solved crimes on a train, at a grand hotel, and now an undersea yacht. Billionaire Axel Sandorf has invited her to cruise on his undersea yacht -- the Carly, named after his late wife. After solving two murder cases and completing her training as a professional detective, Penny is asked to solve a suspected poisoning. Once again she has a handful of suspects all with means, motive, and opportunity. I like how the author uses well developed characters and then explains how Penny uses her skills to solve a mystery. I am really enjoying Penny's escapades in this series.
Okay, my guess on Who Done It was totally off on this novel! The novel starts like numerous other “closed room” mysteries. The first novel involved a luxury train. This one involves a luxury submarine, which does have a room dedicated to “ closed room” mysteries. Penny is invited to spend time on the submarine by the incredibly wealthy owner. How could she refuse? I rather enjoyed the cat with two color eyes, that is the main character of another passenger’s mystery novels.
Deep Dive into Death proved to be a well-written mystery. The ending and wrap-up was constructed to answer all the questions on how the attempted murders and final successful murder was accomplished. I’m looking forward to the next book in this series. I hope it it as well constructed as this one.
Third novel in the Penny Kufer mystery series takes place on a luxury submarine in the Atlantic. An attempted murder on board has a penny pulling out all the stops to find out why and who the murderer is.
This one really through me for a loop! I had no idea who or why! Of course, the explanation made sense of it, but I sure didn't put it together! Well done!
Lots of fun reading my third Penny Kufer book. There is a wonderful old world feel yet it's an ultra modern setting. Start your first PENNY KUFER INVESTIGSTES now!
