Review: A great collection of dangerous boating related mysteries

I originally read one of these books as an Amazon freebie.  I liked it so much that I bought the boxed set.  These stories are infused with accurate boating and sailing information.  They are all set in the Fort Lauderdale area of Florida and the main character, Seychelle, is a tugboat captain.  Her job pulls her into some pretty complicated situations and you wonder how she's going to solve the problems.  Things develop quickly and there's a lot of action.  These are books where you can never be sure which characters will survive, good or bad, although there is a core of continuing characters.  This is NOT a "cozy" mystery series - there are dark aspects to this work and difficult subjects are addressed.  My husband and I both liked these books, so they are definitely not gender specific.  I would recommend them to anyone who likes being on the water (or reading about it) and thrilling mysteries.
