How do I always attract trouble and drama? When a crewmember takes his own life but hands Patricia a cryptic note and a request to save Anna just before he jumps, she feels she has no choice but to honour his dying wish. Who is Anna though? The note leads her to investigate the odd-looking and mysterious couple staying in cabin 2124 and so begins an adventure that leads Patricia and her friends through the streets and underbelly of Tokyo, Japan. Why did he kill himself? And what are the couple in 2124 up to? The quest to save the unidentified Anna is not her only problem though. The captain, who has always been warm and friendly, appears to now be flirting with her. She’s in her fifties, for goodness sake! How can she be thinking about starting again, but goodness, he is handsome and oh so charming. Before she can get to grips with that though, they dock in Japan where waiting for her at the Port is none other than her estranged husband, Charlie, the man whose cheating behaviour acted as the catalyst for her around the world adventure. He isn’t done with their marriage it seems, but how does Patricia feel about him now that her anger has had time to dissipate? A mystery to solve, two men to pick from; how did her life get so complicated? Join Patricia and gang again for another pulse-pounding adventure on board the world’s finest luxury cruise ship.

At the very beginning of the book, Patty witnesses a man who leaps off the ship. Before he jumps he asks Patty to save Anna and hands her a note. On the back of the note are the numbers 2124. Patty and Butler Jermaine knock on Cabin 2124 the next morning. Patty is all prepared to meet a widow. She is surprised to meet an overbearing man and his equally annoying wife. I love it that Mr. Higgs does not use profanity here in this scene, but he substitutes the word fruit. Cleverly done.
Patty, Jermaine, Barbie and 2 retired 80+ year old cops chase all over Tokyo trying to find Anna. Their chase leads them to 2 different mafia bosses. In the middle of all of this, Charlie surprises Patty by arriving in Tokyo and makes his way into her suite. Of course, Patty is not happy because she is developing feelings for the Captain.
The ending is great! ( )
