Description
What would you do if your husband got you the worst anniversary present ever?
Mollie McGhie is hoping for diamonds for her tenth wedding anniversary. Instead, her clueless hubby presents her with a rundown boat. She's not impressed.
When she discovers someone murdered on board, things get even worse. Mollie hopes it will convince her husband to rethink his hare-brained scheme of sailing off into the sunset. Instead, he's more determined than ever to fix the boat up and set off to sea.
Poking her nose in where it doesn't belong, Mollie finds herself drawn into the tight-knit community living at Palm Tree Marina in Coconut Cove, a small town on the Florida coast. She uncovers a crime ring dealing in stolen marine equipment, eats way too much chocolate, adopts a cat, and learns far more about sailing than she ever wanted to.
Will Mollie be able to discover who the murderer is before her nosiness gets her killed?
Murder at the Marina is the first book in the Mollie McGhie Cozy Sailing Mystery series. If you like quirky characters, adorable cats, and loads of chocolate, you'll love this cozy mystery. Spoiler alert: You'll be craving brownies by the time you finish this book!

Reviews
Silly fun
4By MagsburnEntertaining. It was an easy airplane read. It does not require full focus and will make you laugh at the absurdity.Murder on the Marinara
4By Sheffield 10I thinkI must have put on extra lbs. just reading it. The plot was nicely crafted and the author an interesting mystery. I gave it a 4 because of repeat imagery and the funny lines just seemed not to hit the mark. Makes an easy summer read.There are no intelligent characters in this book
3By coartchickI suppose it could be a farce, but it wasn’t roll on the floor funny. Just kind of made me want to slap someone. Myself, for reading the whole thing.Murder at the marina

5By ShortHairDivaMy first book in this series but probably won’t be my last. It’s funny at times and easy to follow. A few of the characters are a little goofy but it’s still a fun read. I like the cat and all the chocolate.A Good Read
4By K-D92I really enjoyed reading this book. It was cooky and had some humor.Mysterious whodunnit
5By Ben BranshawWell spoken author keeps reader engaged with well defined characters, humor, and a sailboat fixer upper. No gratuitous sex or perverted twists, but it’s a page turner, easily read. Enjoyable!
