Book 1 - Murder at the Marina

What would you do if your hubby got you the worst anniversary present ever?

When Mollie's husband, Scooter, presents her with a dilapidated sailboat for her anniversary, she's less than impressed. When she discovers a dead body on board, things get even worse.

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 many chocolate bars, adopts a cat, and learns far more about sailing than she ever wanted to.

Book 2 - Bodies in the Boatyard

What would you do if your hubby announced that he wanted to sell your house, do some serious downsizing, and move onto a rundown sailboat?

Scooter's latest hare-brained scheme to move on-board their boat isn't exactly Mollie's dream come true. When someone is murdered in the boatyard, it becomes a total nightmare.

Mollie takes matters into her own hands and investigates the mysterious death along with her adorable feline companion, Mrs. Moto. While she searches for clues, she meets more of the quirky characters who live in Coconut Cove, learns about sea turtles, overcomes her fear of public speaking, and, of course, eats way too many sugary treats.

Book 3 - Poisoned by the Pier

What would you do if your hubby decided that the two of you should go on an extreme diet?

Mollie thought she had enough problems to deal with when her husband threw out all of her chocolate and junk food. But when someone is poisoned during a cake baking competition, she's thrust into another murder investigation.

While she tries to identify the killer, Coconut Cove's annual boating festival is in full swing. In between getting ready for her first sailing race and cheating on her diet, Mollie and her cat, Mrs. Moto, uncover clues, interview suspects, and do their best to avoid rutabagas.
