From Publishers Weekly
Third in Tony Fennelly's (The Hippie in the Wall) funny Margo Fortier series, Don't Blame the Snake, lands the stripper-turned-society columnist heroine at a literary conference on a cruise ship. One of the participants is killed in his cabin, and Margo must keep a close eye on the odd and unsavory suspects, including a bestselling author and his dominatrix, an ex-jewel thief and a struggling professor.

From Library Journal
With gay husband Julian, former topless dancer and now New Orleans society columnist Margo Fortier (as seen in 1-900-Dead) attends an admittedly rinky-dink crime writers' conference aboard a cruise ship on the Mississippi River. The featured speaker, an ex-thief, is dead from a snakebite and misses the event, but various suspects do appear, including a boring wannabe author, a reclusive nudist writer, and a rival thief-turned-titled Scotsman. More snakes and another murder set Margo and Julian sniping and snooping. Ditsy protagonists, flippant and/or inane dialog, and a pasteboard cast somehow fail to sink this ship: look for solid laughs amidst the fluff. For larger collections.
