Two-and-a-half stars: two seems unjust, but three too generous.

It was a nice read and the book certainly didn't irk me in the way cozies so often do, but I was disappointed by the mystery content, or rather, the lack there of. There was no speculation about an array of possible suspects, rather, there was only one suspect. Where at the very least there should have been two suspects: both boat owners. Although the husband struck me as someone who would call his vessel a yaght rather than a boat.

I liked the motive for murder, that was unusual. And I liked Charlotte.

I was annoyed though, the author decided to hide clues from readers. Charlotte got to see what was on the photo and that helped her solve the mystery, but we were not told. That's a cheap trick that could have been avoided by having more suspects from the beginning. Hence, not three stars.
