Let me just start by saying once again that blogger Ellen Jacobson is a hoot. Her posts on The Cynical Sailor and His Salty Sidekick make me laugh out loud on a regular basis.
When I learned she offered
ARCs her new cozy mystery, I jumped at the
chance and volunteered to review and promote her book. I don’t regret the decision.
Mollie McGhie could almost be Ms. Jacobson from all I’ve read,
though thank heaven without having found a murder victim on her and her
husband’s boat. In fact, I hope Mr. Jacobson is a model for Scooter McGhie.
Mollie’s husband dotes on his
amateur sleuth of a wife with tenderness and patience, while the local
constabulary is less than impressed. In short, the story contains everything
one would hope for in a cozy mystery.
And more.
I found myself invested in
the wellbeing of this wide cast of (often eccentric) characters, one of them
four footed. At the very least, I wanted to restock everyone’s chocolate supply
(or kitty kibble, as the case may be). ~grin~ So if you’re ready for a light,
fun read, especially for the beach, pick up a hard or digital copy of “Murder
at the Marina”.
Murder at the Marina is the first in the new lighthearted and humorous Mollie McGhie Sailing Mystery series.
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 husband presents her with a dilapidated sailboat. Just one problem—she doesn’t know anything about boats, nor does she want to.
When Mollie discovers someone murdered on board, she hopes it will convince her husband that owning a boat is a bad idea. Unfortunately, he’s more determined than ever to fix the boat up and set out to sea.
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, investigates an alien abduction, eats way too many chocolate bars, adopts a cat, and learns far more about sailing than she ever wanted to.
Can Mollie discover who the murderer is before her nosiness gets her killed?
