Review
A highly entertaining thriller about getting tangled in a counterfeit money and drugs ring. The action takes place on board a boat and even if you aren’t an avid sailor it is quite interesting and engaging. Things get interesting as murder ensues and Mary and Tanner don’t know who they can trust.
I enjoyed this book as it refreshingly had strong female characters who took matters into their own hands and did the rescuing. Set in the idyllic British Virgin Islands this does very well as a holiday read or to take you away from miserable weather.
