The QEII crossing was a benchmark of my career. The company was topnotch, the accommodations tight but comfortable, the food and service superb. The running murder-mystery play we put on for our fellow passengers delivered all the terrors and triumphs of a good-natured amateur community theatrical production, which is an experience any good writer should undertake if he hopes to become great. Also we didn't sink. - Loren Estleman, three-time winner of the Private Eye Writers of America Shamus Award for the Amos Walker series, and a nominee for the Pulitzer Prize and the American Book Award.

My most memorable mystery weekend was the brilliant adventure set up by Karen and Billy Palmer at the Grand Hotel on Mackinaw Island. The company, including James Ellroy and Jonathan Valin; the food, the mystery and the island were perfect. From the boat launch to the solution of the murder, I felt as if I were a member of the cast of And Then There Were None. Karen and Billy know how to put on an unforgetable mystery experience. - Stuart Kaminsky, author of the Lew Fonesca, Abe Lieberman, Toby Peters, & Porfiry Petrovich Rostnikov series, in addition to numerous short stories.

No grander time could be had at the Grand Hotel than as part of a Bogie's Mystery Tour. There is no more luxurious setting for mystery, and no one knows better than Bogie's how to commit a crime. A Bogie's event at the Grand is like MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS but with room to roam and better service. - John Lutz, Edgar and Shamus Award winning author of the Fred Carver series, and author of "Single White Female."

Murder is never nice...unless it's an entertaining adventure in detection with Bogie's Mystery Tours!

Take it from me, a two time Edgar Award nominee - you'll have the crime of your life! - Ric Meyers, author of "TV Detectives" and "Murder on the Air."

Crossing the North Atlantic in the hands of Bogie's Mystery Tours was akin to attending a shipboard party in the company of Marple and Poirot.

Thanks to Karen and Bill Palmer, the QE2 mystery voyage was great fun!
