From the bestselling author of Excavations, a hilarious book about two estranged sisters who reunite to take down the luxury yacht owner who destroyed their childhood home—and might be responsible for the dead body next door.
Captain Denise is more comfortable facing down a stingray than a party guest, though she’s punched both in recent memory. After spending half her life at the helm of yachts across the Caribbean, she’s risen through the ranks thanks to one never, ever mix with the owners.
Her sister, Helen, is a walking HR violation, one of many reasons the two haven’t seen each other in years. Recently fired after burning all her bridges, Helen returns home to work for Denise.
The clashing sisters’ first charter is for the Falcon family, shady real estate developers who mowed down Helen and Denise’s childhood home to build condos. But then the latest Falcon building collapses—and a dead body turns up beside it. Helen and Denise comb through the wreckage to uncover just how low the Falcons will sink in order to stay afloat—before the big storm wipes out the evidence.

This was supposed to be a funny summer beach read that has two sisters working together on a yacht business but honestly I only finished because I had the audio to listen to. For the most part I found myself zoning out and just was not invested in it at all. Great cover though. Now on to the next. Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an early digital and audio copy in exchange for my honest thoughts.
