Just Add Water

Hetta Coffey Series, Book 1

De: Jinx Schwartz

Narrado por: Beth Richmond

Hetta Coffey is a globe-trotting civil engineer with attitude who is working on coming of age, a little late. Pushing forty and still single, Hetta is the epitome of the "B" word: bold, bossy, brassy, breezy, and brash. After leaving a lifelong swath of failed multinational affairs in her jet stream, it is no wonder Hetta prefers living with her dog, R.J. But old habits die hard, and trolling for triceps is Hetta's hobby.

Plying the waterfront in search of Saturday brunch, Hetta's attention is snagged by a parade of passing yachts - especially their predominantly male skippers - and experiences a champagne-induced epiphany: If she had a boat, she could get a man. In hopes a floating Valhalla will overcome an all-time low-water mark in her life, Hetta buys her dream boat in spite of a spectacular ignorance of all things nautical. But a shadowy stalker, an inconvenient body, and Hetta's own self-destructive foibles imperil not only her new life, but a newly- found romance.

light hearted

light hearted and a little silly, but good to kill time when you don't want to be over involved in yet another problem/ intrigue/ drama.

Wonderful Outrageous snd Wickedly Funny

I never laughed so much reading a book nor cried so hard at the sad part all the time on the edge trying the guess where the story would take me next. I loved it and the narrator was perfect. Can't wait to read the next ones!!

Delightful!

A delightful little story with a few bad guys, a few good guys and a dog. While it was somewhat predictable, it was so well written that I didn’t mind. Now I understand the term “cozy” mystery. I rather like Hetta, and I am hoping that a few of the other characters will be continuing on, as well. 4.5 stars.

Not bad

Just an average cozy. Intelligent woman conned by man, five years later he comes skulking around and dies on her property. Her life is in danger due to a key. She’s withholding evidence from police. There’s a love interest doing the are they or aren’t they.

I really enjoyed this book!

I really enjoyed this book , and will look for more from the series and author! The characters were well developed and believable, I wanted to hang out in their world :-)
