Set sail for murder

Loved Anne Bogel's book "Don't Overthink It. Loved her book recommendations at the end of the book. I definitely subscribe to the " buy experiences rather than things" philosophy of life. I have never regretted my decision to join my sister in her trip to the Netherlands. Nor my camping trips with my husband to Colorado, Utah, or Michigan. Been lucky that I never regretted my decision to leave Penneys for the experience to work in a library. It changed my life for the better. And my decision to continue my education. And I am grateful for our decision to buy this house and move to Troy, Ohio and be near my children. This book is about finding the joy in our daily decisions.

    Carolyn Hart wrote "Set Sail for Murder" after she took a cruise along the Baltic in preparation for the writing and research for this book. The details of the travel itinerary make for an interesting backdrop to the story. The Riordian family is set on taking a family vacation with their stepmother and her husband. The husband, James A. Lennox, is an old friend and lover of Henrietta O'Dwyer, or Henry O to her friends. Jimmy asks Henry O to go along on the Baltic cruise to help him protect his wife, the famous documentary filmaker, Sophia Montgomery, from her own family. After Sophia has been murdered, Henry O has to prove who was the murderer to protect Jimmy from going to prison.
