I read two to three books a week, and living on a fixed income almost all of those books come from the free list. Yes, some are pretty bad and get dumped right away, but every now and then there's a real find. The Whiskey Tide is one of those. I thought the main characters, Kate and Joe, were really well developed and I loved the next door neighbor, Mrs. Cole who really wasn't addled at all. If this was a staged melodrama Kate's deplorable Uncle Phineas would be booed and hissed every time he appeared on stage.As a former yacht captain and spending many years also repairing and restoring boats I found Ms. Meyers's understanding of some aspects of boats and how they actually work a bit off-putting and I think the time line for traveling to St. Johns unrealistic. However that really doesn't distract from what is an excellent read. While I got it for free I can say that anyone springing for the $3.99 book won't be disappointed. I can also recommend her "No Game for a Dame" that I read about a year ago.
