Black Schooner

Jack Beale Mystery #7

by K.D. Mason

Jack and Max hire a delivery skipper, TJ, to bring her catamaran from Belize to Rye Harbor, New Hampshire. TJ takes on a mysterious woman as crew in Florida, but after she jumps ship in Gloucester, TJ enlists Jack’s help for the final leg of the delivery. In Gloucester, TJ, an incorrigible womanizer, reconnects with a former lover and crew mate, and that chance meeting triggers a search for a black schooner from his past—along with the chance it affords for closure and revenge. His search takes him through Kennebunkport, Boothbay, and Camden, Maine, and finally to the Isles of Shoals, where TJ and Jack’s friend Tom, the police chief of Rye Harbor, become targets of an unknown killer.

A friend of mine gave me this book. It was a bit confusing and jumpy at times, but it was a well-written novel.

If you've liked the first six Jack Beale adventures you will like the seventh as well. Especially if you're familiar with the Rye/Hampton area of New Hampshire, the coast of Maine and the Isles of Shoals. Mystery men, mystery women, mystery boats. Somebody is gonna die more than likely.

I look forward to revisiting characters I've come to know well. The settings are familiar, including Rye, and in this book, Camden Maine and the Isle of Shoals.
