His Bluewater Thrillers are set in the yachting world of the Caribbean and chronicle the adventures of two young women running a luxury charter yacht in a rough-and-tumble environment. The Connie Barrera Thrillers are also set in the Caribbean and feature some of the same characters from a slightly more romantic perspective. Besides the Bluewater Thrillers and the Connie Barrera Thrillers, he wrote The Redemption of Becky Jones, a psycho-thriller, and The Lost Tourist Franchise, a short story about one of the characters from Deception in Savannah.
He has also written two non-fiction books. Life's a Ditch is the story of how he and his wife moved aboard their sailboat, Play Actor, and their adventures along the east coast of the U.S. Dungda de Islan' relates their experiences while cruising the Caribbean.

I've so enjoyed all three series from this author. To my surprise and delight, I received a response to one of my reviews where I asked for that warm seafood salad that made me hungry every time it was being prepared in the galley by one of his characters (I figured it had to be a real thing). The author not only responded to my review, but...get this...I scored the recipe for warm seafood salad! What fun it has been to sail the Caribbean with these characters as they go from one adventure to the next. I've read all but two--and I'm on my way to my Kindle as soon as I post this review!

typically tropical
Another nautical thriller with Paul and Connie,the background and sailing are as usual great and I only gave four stars because I thought the plot was weaker than usual and the killer was pretty obvious,still next to the Bluewater series these are my favourite Caribbean sailing tails.

Wow! The 11th Connie Barrera already? Seems like just yesterday when we first met her in Bluewater
Ice. Since then she has proven herself to be more than a match for any nefarious desperado.
This is no exception. Connie's inherent savvy perks her"radar" almost immediately when the two new charter guests come aboard. The trail of dead bodies follows them throughout the islands, and like any good mystery, you don't know who it is until the very end... your suspect was wrong!
Although in big trouble, her husband former detective Paul Russo, and friends with "capable" backgrounds swarm to her defense. Especially noteworthy is the former Massad operative Marie La Croix.
There is one puzzling layer to this book however. Connie and Paul talk about quitting the charter business. Surely this won't happen, because your loyal readers want more and more of these characters. Please, Mr. Dougherty, say it ain't so!
