Ridge Mystery by Linda Hall
Overall star rating
--- 5
About the book:
Desolate Maine
shores... Murder... And peace slipping away on the outgoing tide...
For yacht delivery
captain, Em Ridge, having a billionaire's daughter go overboard on her first
captaining job is not a good beginning. The sailboat is new, state of the art,
her crew on this trip include two close sailing friends. But an unknown fourth,
who can't even tie a bowline, and the unruly owner's daughter turn the idyllic
trip into an adventure not wanted.
Two years ago Em
buried her husband, her soulmate, her sailing buddy, and with him buried a
secret. As hours on the open seas slide by, secrets are resurrected that tie
Em's past to a present, awash with murder and deception.
Will Em's career go
overboard? Will the investigating detective help her or hurt her? Any why does
the best boat delivery captain on the east coast pull at her heart strings?
The oft foggy coast of
Maine holds secrets it does not want to give up, and a lot of bodies can be
hidden in The Pine Tree State's largest city.

The review --
This is a great murder
mystery with loads of twist and turns. The characters are wonderfully written
it leaves on thinking/ believing that are actual people. The author has done
awesome job of making the terminology that is used in boating make sense to me
without me needing a dictionary. The description of the settings in the novel
are very descriptive and fun to read about. It feel like one is actually there
on the boat with the characters and can feel the wind as well as smell the sea
salt air. Throughout the book, the author has made to clear that little things
can grow in to bigger things when
ignored.
