Grave Indulgence, William Doonan, 282pages
Henry Grave is an investigator for the Association of Cruising Vessel Operators.  He can determine if the brand new mega-cruise ship, Indulgence, will qualify for a safety certificate to operate from a US port.  Henry is an 85 year old former Nazi POW and in his opinion, ladies man.  The Indulgence is an Arab owned mega cruise ship complete with an Egyptian Deck and a two deck high rain forest.  The Indulgence is about to begin her maiden voyage, when with the help of the rain forest inhabitants, Henry finds a body.  The ship departs and Henry continues to investigate.  We meet many interesting characters as we follow Henry in his rambles between decks.  Will Henry ever find the main dinning room while dinner is being served?
This was a fun read.  There were a few times when Henry's 'bumbling' gets a bit tiresome, but overall it was a fun read.
