Murder at the Marina

<b>She's got to solve this-or her friends are sunk . . .</b><P>Kelly Jackson manager of the Redwood Cove Bed and Breakfast is fond of the Doblinsky brothers Ivan and Rudy members of the Silver Sentinels a crew of crime-solving senior citizens in their Northern California seaside hamlet.

But the story behind this murder seems as layered as a nesting doll-and Kelly's feeling completely at sea . . .</p>
