“I thoroughly enjoyed this cozy mystery. The story takes place at a boat club. As a sailor and a teacher myself I could relate to the main character. Kind of refreshing that the romance didn’t involve the detective as it so often does. I liked the characters.”

“… my favorite character was Mrs. Beatrice, the town gossip. I hope the author is planning a sequel.”

“Small towns have nosey neighbors, and they usually get things wrong. Anne has that problem after a woman is found dead following the Westport regatta. She is linked with the dead woman's husband, who believes he is the most important person that no one can resist! Anne and the dockmaster are determined to aid the man charged with the murder and things get even murkier when a woman who thought she should win everything is found dead. Loved the short chapters and the storyline was well written.”

“This was a really good book and kept you guessing on who the murderer was. Tim is a nice partner for Anne in helping solve the murder and they get to know each other better and grow closer. When you find out who the murderer is, it kind of makes you happy who did it. Definitely a "cozy boat club mystery."

“A captivating and flowing mystery centering around the deaths of Ruth and Petra in Westport Maryland. The first question to be resolved is, were these deaths accidental or murder? Readers will feel involved in discovering and eliminating possible suspects as they also become a part of a community group led by Tim and Anne, an unofficial team alongside the official investigation led by the police and their support team. Enjoy not only the investigations, both the official and community-led, but also social life of the residents of Westport, including sailing, parades and social interactions in the coffee shop. Overall, an engaging and absorbing read with multiple connecting plot developments.”
