Murder at the Marina
Book Review
What would you do if your hubby gave
you the worst anniversary gift ever?
A dilapidated sailboat for your anniversary—not very romantic. A
dead body on board—even worse.
Mollie McGhie is hoping for diamonds for her tenth wedding
anniversary. Instead, her clueless hubby presents her with a rundown boat.
She's not impressed.
When she discovers someone murdered on board, things get even
worse. Mollie hopes it will convince her husband to rethink his hare-brained
scheme of sailing off into the sunset. Instead, he's more determined than ever
to fix the boat up and set off to sea.
Poking her nose in where it doesn't belong, Mollie finds herself
drawn into the tight-knit community living at Palm Tree Marina in Coconut Cove,
a small town on the Florida coast. She uncovers a crime ring dealing in stolen
marine equipment, eats way too many chocolate bars, adopts a cat, and learns
far more about sailing than she ever wanted to.
Will Mollie be able to discover who the murderer is before her
nosiness gets her killed?
Murder at the Marina is the first book in the light, humorous,
and original Mollie McGhie cozy sailing mystery series. If you like kooky
characters, adorable cats, and plenty of chocolate, you'll love this cozy
mystery. Buy Murder at the Marina today and laugh out loud from the first page

My Review:
Mollie McGhie’s husband buys her a dilapidated
sailboat for their 10th anniversary—even though she doesn’t sail. Fearful
that he’s having a bidlife crisis, she goes along with her husband’s dream in
the hopes that he loses interest once he realizes what bad condition the
sailboat is in.
No such luck. Her hubs sees nothing but potential,
even after the body shows up. And guess where it turns up? Sorry, no spoilers
here!
As any good sleuth worth her salt, Mollie can’t help
herself. Instead of talking her husband out of buying the boat, she gets
sidetracked investigating the murder. Plenty of people had reasons to want him
dead and Mollie is in a perfect position to find out whodunnit.
Mollie fits quickly into the marina scene, which is much
like an RV park for sailboats. She meets all the residents aka suspects who
live on their sailboats and together they make a cozy little community.
Just add murder and stir!
