4/19/08 Cruisin’ for a Bruisin’
I took my time reading your last book. I
enjoyed it a lot. I have enjoyed all your books and
they seem to be getting better each time. Maybe that’s
because I’m getting more familiar with the characters.
You give your characters a lot of personality and
describe the scenes in very good detail without being
boring. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Hi Gayle,
I read your book, loved it, it’s my
favorite – so far. It was a very clean copy as well,
very few typos – can’t help it. I notice those things.
Once a proof reader, always a proof reader. The only
thing that might be a problem is on p.43, not a typo,
when the ladies are served a ‘chocolate mouse cake.’ In
the next printings –heck, don’t change it, it gave me a
big laugh.
I truly do love the book & I want to go
on a cruise ASAP, mouse cake and all:-)

Cruisin For A Bruisin'
Dear Gayle,
Just finished the above. Best mystery
I've read in a long time. A great escape from the
travails of the day. And as an added bonus I feel like
I have been on a cruise. In fact at times I felt a
little queasy from heavy seas. My daughter Debra has
been patiently waiting for me to finish Cruisin. She
loves your mysteries. We both will await our revisit
with Claire G.

For years
I've wanted to go on an Alaskan Cruise and--thanks to
Gayle Wigglesworth's CRUISIN' FOR A BRUISIN'--I've just
returned from a wonderful "Call of the Sea" Cruise.
The
travel brochure fastened in the front of this
wonderfully manufactured book told me I'd board in San
Francisco on a Saturday, spend Sunday at sea,
then
begin my sight-seeing in Victoria. B.C. on Monday.
That's the only
place on
the cruise, other than SF, that I'd seen before, and so
I do know
it was
accurately described in Gayle's book. That gave me
trust in the
other
descriptions. I learned and felt what the ship was
like, what the many amenities were, and even got to
enjoy the fabulous meals vicariously. Each stop in
Alaska was described in enough to detail to place me
there, as were the sights (whales, porpoises, glaciers,
etc.) seen while out in the ocean.
Did I
tell you this is the fourth book in Gayle's Claire
Gulliver mystery series? Not that I forgot I was
reading a mystery novel, but I definitely got two for
the price of one. I've had my Alaskan cruise and a
wonderfully complex mystery to follow as well. The
characters--Claire, her mother, friends, and the
passengers (WHICH ones are evil? And, are there
degrees of evil here?)--are all wonderfully drawn.
I had a
fabulous time. Thank you Gayle Wigglesworth for writing
what seemed created "just for me" but offers the same
good time and suspense to everyone else.
Y'all
enjoy.
