Darkest Journey by Heather Graham

4.0

Journey is another Celtic Amerian Cruise ship ... this one specializes in Civil War era. Charlie is an actor who has worked with Alexi and Clara ... and her father works on "The Journey" as a storyteller.

10 years before Charlie and Ethan helped catch a serial killer. While they had mutual attraction, Ethan (who was already in college) did the right thing and discouraged 16 year old Charlie.

Now, Charlie finds a dead body ... and uses her connection with Alexi & Clara to get Ethan assigned to the case. Charlie helps Ethan, whether he wants it or not ... and eventually they act on feelings they still have for each other. Eventually Alexi & Clara decide to come down and become "Southern Belles" on "The Journey" to help with the investigation ... along with Jude & Thor.

I love, love, love the Civil War ghosts that play into this story. The actual murders (and the motive) was a bit more mundane, but I really loved all of the characters involved. Charlie's dad kind of drove me nuts with all the info he kept withholding though.
