Cruise ship mystery and adventure. Book 5 of the Darcy Farthing Adventures. Freelance reporter Darcy Farthing boards a luxury cruise ship for a trip to beautiful Australian seaports with family and friends, where a baffling murder mystery challenges her investigative skills. The crimes begin when a small-town Kansas woman traveling with a class reunion tour group is plagued by an attack of yellow crazy ants-a dangerous, invasive species-as well as an illness caused by mysterious foodborne bacteria. The bizarre but relatively minor incidents escalate when the ants injure more passengers and crew members. Soon, a peculiar death on the streets of Adelaide and attempted murders on board the ship threaten to cause panic. It is obvious that a crew member or passenger is targeting individuals, but who is it and why? Meanwhile, Darcy is distracted by daughter Rachael's uncharacteristic behavior and intense friendship with a handsome passenger. Reluctant to make waves, Darcy tries to suppress her concerns. She turns her full attention to the crimes when evidence is found in her ex-husband's stateroom and the security chief names him as the sole suspect. Brooks is clearly innocent, but the chief is inexplicably reluctant to conduct a more thorough investigation to clear him; then Darcy's best friend, Sid, who is Brooks's fiancé, becomes the latest victim. Clue by clue, with husband Mick's help, Darcy uses her skills to reveal a homicidal world-class computer hacker intent on exacting revenge for a twenty-year-old crime.
