Book Beginnings...
The summer sun glinted off the water as Vivian Palmer leaned against the weathered railing of Harbor Pier. A gentle breeze ruffled her dark bob as she adjusted her sunglasses, watching the procession of decorated boats glide through the harbor.
From 56% on my e-reader...
"Thank you for coming," Graham said. "The case has taken some interesting turns."
Synopsis from Goodreads:
Murder on the Water, Mystery in the Air
In the picturesque harbor town where boats gleam and tourists flock, bookstore owner Vivian Palmer only wanted to enjoy the Fourth of July festivities. But when the body of Dorian "Dory" Fisk—respected boat judge and harbor preservation champion—is discovered during the fireworks finale, Vivian and her Maine Coon cat Cricket find themselves navigating dangerous waters.
As Vivian investigates, she uncovers a web of a slick developer with thwarted plans, a business partner with financial secrets, a festival organizer with a complicated past, and an estranged nephew with inheritance claims. With the help of Detective Graham Alder, who reluctantly appreciates her observant nature, Vivian follows a trail of distinctive boat wax, lipstick-stained wine glasses, and Cricket's uncanny knack for finding evidence.
Time is running out as the killer attempts to frame innocent parties and destroy crucial documents. Vivian must unravel decades of harbor history, broken promises, and hidden relationships before another storm breaks over the community she's grown to love. In Harbor Town, where everyone knows everyone's business, the most dangerous secrets often hide in plain sight.
