Then things go haywire. A dead body shows up, dressed just like a crew member. A saboteur targets an adjoining boat. A child goes missing after making a radio call for help. Georgiana falls in love with her phony boyfriend.

My Review - 5 of 5 stars - 

This was an interesting story. There was plenty of action, plenty of clues, and a whole lot of secrets. I enjoyed the environment, sailing boats, a couple of stops along the way, well described so that I could see the setting. There were some gruesome murders so be prepared. Georgiana was smart and inclined to please others. I loved how she became more confident as she helped solve the crimes, showing her intelligence, though she did do some unsafe things. I recommend this story and look forward to more in the series.

I received a copy through RABT Book Tours, and this is my unsolicited review.
