Dinah Galloway, budding diva, enthusiastic gourmand and amateur detective, is back. This time she has taken to the high seas with a gig in the lounge of an Alaska-bound cruise ship. Also aboard are her mother and her older sister Madge, a moody professor of First Nations art, an elderly woman with romantic intentions toward an even older man, an aspiring thief with gooseberry-colored eyes, and a priceless Native mask that seems to be attracting far too much attention. Also on the ship is Talbot St. John, class heartthrob, with whom Dinah has a running feud. The mask is on its way to a museum to be returned to its ancestral home, but is stolen moments before its delivery. When Dinah is pushed into a glacial lake, the mystery becomes more dangerous and the pool of suspects deepens. As Dinah entertains the passengers and eats her way up the Northwest Coast, a number of potential suspects emerge.

Sensational! Super Sleuth Dinah Gets Better And Better.,
By Karen (North Vancouver, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Mask On The Cruise Ship (A Dinah Galloway Mystery) (Paperback)
This is a fabulous mystery novel for kids. It's clever, consistently funny and beautifully crafted. Melanie Jackson conjures up superb characters and vivid images that don't talk down to kids, but involves and intrigues them. Amidst the humorous shenanigans, there are strong messages like "be true to yourself" and "never give up on your talent". This is the third book in the Dinah Galloway mystery series and I can't wait for more!!!
