This is my first book by Julia Jarman featuring Viv, Janet, and Zelda. As someone who enjoys cruising, I appreciated the author's attention to detail as she described each deck and ambience of each area. One of the only reasons that I couldn't give 5 stars is that I found Janet's character somewhat tiring. I felt Viv and Zelda's frustration and it progressed throughout the book. All in all, a worthy read.

A light hearted feel good story. Three good friends going on a trip but targeted by a women and her scheming daughter.
Is what they are saying the truth? Was Janet's husband married when he married her? Now deceased and not able to answer questions, did he lie and make their long standing marriage bigamous as well as cruel and unhappy?
Trying desperately to uncover the truth whilst sailing to New York.
Friends supporting each other.

This is certainly a lively adventure, and one I enjoyed since I’m not one who enjoys cruising! This cruise
would be the exception with all of the lively and bright descriptions of the QE2 from top to bottom ~ it
seems to be just fabulous, decadent and supremely comfortable, until the ladies arrive to take their
places at their promised ‘table for 3,’ when things are going to clearly run to foul and the wild adventure
on the high seas begins.
Having not read the previous books left me with catching up and having to just accept things about the
ladies that likely have great beginning stories, but, honestly, it was just as much fun.
Richard is clearly a new character and I cannot wait to see him in the next book. I hope that the
interesting misunderstandings will remain in the background, but with these ladies, we’ve no way
to know!. Even not being a cruiser, I might just hop on to spend a week with friends like these!
This is a hit and I highly recommend it to everyone !
My thanks to Boldwood Books via NetGalley for the download copy of this book for review purposes.

I had high hopes for this novel but it is just okay. The writing is rather scattered but a decent story shines through.

I loved this book so much! The characters are amazing and so relatable. The plot was great and it was son well written. Thank you for the opportunity to read this arc!

I couldn’t wait to start this and catch up with the widows wine club ladies. What a brilliant setting for the book the QM2 and I really felt like I was there with them, Having been lucky enough to have been on the ship and stayed in a Queens Grill Suite I enjoyed hearing all about their visits to all the lovely areas on board. Although even if you haven’t been on the QM2 the descriptions are perfect and really set the scene.
It’s was a great read and I was hooked from the first page on the mystery that unfolded.
I loved Richard and his dog Billie and loved seeing the relationship between Richard and Zelda develop.
The ending was excellent and I cannot wait for the next book to find out what the ladies get up to next.
Thanks to NetGalley, Julia Jarman and Boldwood Books for an advance copy in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

Thank you NetGalley and publisher for this book!!

I LOVED this book! It was a bit slow in the beginning but then boom I was hooked!! I finished it in one sitting! My first by this author but will not be my last!!

Deciding Janet needs a change of scenery Viv and Zelda book a luxury cruise for the three of them. When on the cruise they are joined by a fellow passenger who Viv and Zelda are suspicious of and they fear she may not have good intentions towards their friend they begin investigating and spying to get to the bottom of their suspicions. This book is beyond enjoyable and I have never read a book and felt so much joy and happiness. Among the happiness there was also a few moments where I had a lump in my throat but when you are with these widows one thing is for sure that you are guaranteed a fun filled time. Age is definitely no barrier and no matter what they stick together in the end! I absolutely think the world of this story in delighted in the whole book.

Another great visit to the Widows as they sail the seven seas this time for another adventure. The ladies are going on a cruise at Christmas but there is more to some of the passengers than meets the eye.
Loving this series with the ladies who are widowed and have become great friends. Heartwarming and cosy this is a fabulous read.

Great book! Believable plot and characters. I could Not put this book down. I would Read another book b this author.
