The Poker Face of Murder

A gripping cozy mystery with twists (Rose Cruz Cruise Ship Mysteries Book 4)

By: Audrey Alden

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

The Midnight Tide’s poker tournament should be all glitz, glamour, and high stakes—until a deadly hand is dealt.

When a notorious high-roller is found lifeless in his suite, his winnings vanished and two golden poker chips eerily placed over his eyes, Cruise Director Rose Dela Cruz knows this isn’t just a simple robbery gone wrong.

As whispers swirl through the ship’s elegant halls, Rose and her loyal beagle Rex follow a trail of counterfeit chips, tampered casino footage, and buried grudges that run deeper than anyone suspects.

With the clock ticking toward the ship’s next port, every friendly smile hides a secret, and every ally could be the one holding the winning card — or the deadly ace.

In a game where trust is the ultimate gamble, Rose must uncover the truth before the killer disappears beneath the waves… and justice is lost to the sea.

The Virtual Voice

The Virtual Voice has come a long way since its original inception, but it hasn’t learned the correct or appropriate voice inflection for each situation. I found myself confused at times and then just waiting for the reading mistakes. Made it hard to concentrate on the story. Audible Narrators- your job is safe!
