This is the 37th book in the series and the series and the book still keeps my interest. In the book Ellie takes her boat out with her friends Joanna and Shannon and find a boat with an injured lady onboard and a dead body.
I love Ellie and her husband Russel. They just have a wonderful relationship. The story line was good and I love how the author can weave a mystery and characters into a great book. I love the small town and would love to have a slice at Papa Pacelli or a hot dog at Hot Diggity Dawgs.
The two things that I didn't love. One was the fact that we didn't really get to spend any time at Papa Pacelli and get to hear all the wonderful kinds of pizza we can buy there. Second that we didn't really see much of Ellie's grandmother who I adore.
A really good book in a great series.

Another excellent addition to this great series. The characters continue to evolve and become more multidimensional and the storyline as always is tightly plotted. Even the pets have their own quirks!
Ellie, Joanna, and Shannon head out on the boat for a relaxing day of sun only to become embroiled in a murder when they find a seemingly deserted ship. They investigate and discover one survivor but she has no recollection of what happened or even how she came to be onboard.

This was intense
Boy this one was sure a nail biter. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. There were parts where I just couldn't believe what was happening. It really kept me in the edge of my seat. Loved it.

Great book
I love these quick reads. They are great when you need to have a quick moment to relax and enjoy a real page turner. A day of relaxation on the boat turns up a murder and the ladies are on the list to be the next victims.
