Romney Marsh (Publication Order) #14
Dolphin Summer
Dolphins leaping off the Sussex coast were a sight indeed, and when Jim Decks took Tamzin and Meryon out in his old fishing smack, one of them seemed to take a fancy to the boat and its occupants. Later, could it have been the same dolphin who rescued Tamzin when she was pulled under by the current? Tamzin has no doubts, and she and the dolphin become very close, but soon the papers hear of this, and trippers descend to see for themselves. But suddenly the dolphin was in terrible danger. Could the four friends save her?

November 18, 2019I think this is my third time through this book. We read through it as part of a work book club with mostly graduates in the book club.
Again, it's a great book. The best part of the book club were the discussions that followed on from each chapter!

It is wonderful how things come about so that they are able to save the dolphin from the jerk who wants to capture her & imprison her. Then they are finally able to find someone who can help them protect her lawfully so that the water circus guy can't sneak in & try to steal her away from her freedom.
