Killer cruise

C'mon, it's a Friday, end of a tough week - aren't you tempted to click on 90 seconds of the old "Love Boat" theme? Perhaps that will get you in the mood to check out (beware shameless promotion) "Killer Cruise," the latest adventure of super-sleuth Jaine Austen that just so happens to have been written by my wife, Laura Levine. Jaine gets a gig on a cruise ship to Mexico and a lot of crazy stuff ensues (including her cat sneaking on board). Laura will be at the Mystery Bookstore in Westwood Saturday afternoon from 3-5 to launch the new book. Address is 1036-C Broxton. I'll be there and I understand refreshments will be served.

By the way, ship operators have resumed cruises to Mexico after a brief suspension due to the Swine Flu outbreak. Royal Caribbean, Princess and Carnival cruise lines all have cruises from Long Beach and Los Angeles to Mexico. (Press-Telegram)
