Murder at the Marina

Kelly Jackson Mystery Series, Book 5

By: Janet Finsilver

Narrated by: Reba Buhr

She's got to solve this - or her friends are sunk...

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. After she discovers a jewel-encrusted dagger - with what appears to be dried blood on the blade - on their fishing boat, they share their family history with Kelly, and she learns that the knife may be part of a set from their long-ago childhood in Russia. Its sudden reappearance is eerie, but the mystery grows much more serious when a body is found on the boat. The victim was a member of the community and part of the Russian Heritage Festival, and some of the organizers were clearly harboring some bitterness. But the story behind this murder seems as layered as a nesting doll - and Kelly's feeling completely at sea...

WOW!!!

This is such a great book, I think my favorite of this series yet! I can’t wait to see what happens next!

Harvey Goldstein’s mother went to church????

Really??? I was happy to read that these Cossacks were not like the ones who rode around burning down Jewish villages in Russia and killing them. They were why my grandparents all had to leave.

The story was good and these mysteries are always an easy listen.

A good listen

Good story, the narrator develops recognizable character voices that add to the storytelling. Easy to listen to.

Unusual characters

I don’t think I’ve ever read a cozy that contained Cossacks! I learned a few things while enjoying another mystery with Kelly Jackson and the Silver Sentinels. The woman who read this book did an excellent job with the accents. Delightful mystery!

Great Cozy Mystery

Each book in this series is well written & performed. The characters are unique & the plots are interesting. Great series!
