Book Review
This is my first Rolly Waters adventure and now I must go download the first 3! This story is about dolphins, murder and tons of action. There are a handful of suspects and each one is a distraction from the real culprit. It opens in the admiral's ballroom where a party with military personnel is underway. A boat comes crashing in and a solitary woman kills herself in front of plenty of people, including her parents. What made her do that? In comes Rolly Waters, musician and private detective. He is approached by Melody, a close friend of Janis, the woman who killed herself. She wants him to investigate. This opens a slew of doors full of mystery and intrigue which involves, of all things, dolphins! I mean, seriously??? I loved it! You won't believe the roads this story takes you down, just when you think you've figured it all out, you haven't! I thoroughly enjoyed this one and look forward to the rest!
