Molly should be on her honeymoon, but her husband had disappeared.
Thomas should be preaching, but the bishop had other ideas.
Lynette should be in Aspen, but her doctor refused to let her fly.
Instead, they’re sailing on a five-day round trip between Sydney and Hobart.
At 5.00am on the fourth day of the cruise, Captain Jonas Strong announces that five passengers have died overnight.
Were this a cruise with the usual guest profile, such news may have caused a temporary flutter of nerves before being forgotten. But the Oceanic Wanderer was hosting a Crime Writers’ Conference with hundreds of amateur sleuths who were now wondering, if there was more to the announcement than they were being told.
Was there a murderer among them?
CRIME QUIZ delivers a cosy-mystery caper in a cruisy setting.

My Review
As you begin this read you meet an array of characters, from elderly to being left at the altar, and they are all, so to say, wannabe mystery writers, on a cruise. There are classes to be had to help them with their tasks, such as how to outline, etc. There are also tours of the ship offered, and shore excursions.
Then tragically there are five deaths!
As the facts unfold, and dealing with so many deaths one of the passengers, Thomas, offers to help, he is a pastor.
Also at the time of the deaths it is discovered a valuable item is missing.
I loved the ending and how this all meshed together. A very quick read, packed with information.
I received this book through Great Escapes Virtual Book Tours, and was not required to give a positive review.
