Books like Killer Cruise

I’m done with this one. Seriously, I have never seen a point in forcing myself to read something that obviously doesn’t work. And this one definitely is not for me. I started this book some time ago because I needed it badly for one of my challenges and I got stuck in it very quickly. This is a short book and I couldn't bring myself to finish it. I read a few other books I was struggling with but I couldn't bring myself to finish this one. There is no point in forcing myself further.The biggest problem with this book is not even that nothing happens but that it is impossibly annoying. It's all because of the main character. I didn't read previous books in this series, so I only met Jaine in this book and I must admit that she is an extremely annoying heroine. Usually the main characters in cozy mysteries are intelligent, clever and cute, it's easy to like them. Jaine has none of these qualities. She is just weak. She allows everyone used her, every person she meets is above her. Including her damn cat! Jaine lets herself be blackmailed and disregarded all the time. Nobody respects her, including me unfortunately. Evidently she misses her spine. I was fed up with her mouse-like personality.Now let’s return to the second reason why I was close to abandoning this book from the very beginning. Nothing happens in here. It's cozy mystery without mystery. Okay, no mystery up to 40 percent where finally a dead body appears. Almost half the book! We spend nearly half the book wandering with the boring mouse Jaine on the deck. And there is nothing more interesting that would distract us from her annoying personality. I was so bored that when the corpse finally appeared, it didn’t interest me anymore. Seriously, I abandon this book right after the chapter in which the body was discovered. I don't want to know what else stupid trouble Jaine will get in trying to find the killer.I probably had too high expectations for this book. But it seemed like a light story just for the holidays. I doubt I'll ever read a book in this series again.
