Romance and comedy and mystery all in one book. Penelope is the assistant of of famous mystery author Hugh. She organizes a book cruise with 7 beselling authors... Until Hugh is found dead with no help... She gets help[ from Nash, Western author, to solve the murder..
Love this book. Nash is swoony and Penelope is a terrific character. Enjoy the banter and the chemistry a lot. Lots of LOL scenes too.
Thanks to the publisher for the arc.

This book had me cackling the entire way through! I loved the murder mystery aspect mixed with romance and this book is now at the top of my to-purchase list!

3.5⭐️
Una comedia romántica de risas envuelta en un detective, esta aventura en alta mar demuestra que a veces las mejores historias de amor comienzan con un pequeño asesinato.
Penelope Mae Dupont tiene un superpoder: mantener la calma. Lo cual es esencial cuando eres el asistente personal del reconocido autor de misterio Hugh Griffin. Pero cuando Pip organiza un crucero de libros de lujo con The Fabulous Seven, un brillante elenco de siete autores más vendidos conocidos tanto por su brillantez como por su drama, su compostura característica comienza a resbalar. Un barco. Siete egos. Cientos de fans. ¿Qué podría salir mal?
Bueno... asesinato, para empezar.
El segundo día, Hugh es encontrado muerto, y el equipo de seguridad del crucero demuestra ser totalmente incompetente. Varada en medio del Atlántico sin ayuda a la vista, Pip se da cuenta de que si alguien va a resolver el caso, tendrá que ser ella. Y así, con su amiga y aliada Nash, la soñadora autora del oeste que es tan robusta como los vaqueros sobre las que escribe, pone a prueba sus habilidades de detective amateur.
Mientras Pip y Nash navegan por un océano de secretos, giros impactantes y demasiadas arenques rojas, ella tendrá que decidir si está destinada a quedarse detrás de escena, o finalmente entrar en el centro de atención... y tal vez, solo tal vez, encuentre el amor en el camino.
En el mundo del misterio y el amor, a veces tienes que arriesgarte a pasarte para encontrar la verdad.

No el puse una calificación mayor porque fue muy predecible lo del asesino.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC! All thoughts are my own.
What a delightful ride! Without a Clue is a pitch-perfect mix of cozy mystery and rom-com, with just enough chaos, comedy, and swoon to keep me hooked from the very first page. Imagine Only Murders in the Building colliding with a cruise-ship rom-com, and you’ll get a taste of what’s waiting here.
Penelope “Pip” Dupont is such a fun heroine—practical, composed, and always juggling more than she should—until her world is turned upside down when her boss (a famous mystery writer) turns up dead on a cruise surrounded by adoring fans and fellow authors. Enter Nash, a cowboy-romance writer with a heart of gold and a knack for being in exactly the right place at the right time. Their partnership brings a perfect balance of sparks, banter, and heartfelt moments as they team up to solve the case.
I loved the setting (a cruise full of obsessive book fans and larger-than-life authors—yes please!), the parade of red herrings, and the witty humor woven throughout. The mystery was just twisty enough to keep me guessing without ever overshadowing the romance. By the end, I was grinning from ear to ear, completely satisfied by both the reveal and the romance.
If you love your whodunits with a side of swoon, Without a Clue is the perfect escape. Clever, charming, and laugh-out-loud funny, it’s a must-read for fans of rom-com mysteries.
