Publisher Description
“A spirited romp on the Caribbean seas, Salty is an upstairs-downstairs tale with Kate Myers' signature colorful characters and a setting to die for. For fans of Below Deck and beyond, Salty belongs in your beach bag this summer. A fun and frothy treat!”—Rachel Koller Croft, USA Today bestselling author of Stone Cold Fox and We Love the Nightlife
From the bestselling author of Excavations, a hilarious page-turner about two estranged sisters who reunite to take down the luxury yacht owner who destroyed their childhood home—and might be responsible for the dead body next door.
Captain Denise is more comfortable facing down a stingray than a party guest, though she’s punched both in recent memory. After spending half her life at the helm of yachts across the Caribbean, she’s risen through the ranks thanks to one rule: never, ever mix with the owners.
Her sister, Helen, is a walking HR violation, one of many reasons the two haven’t seen each other in years. Recently fired after burning all her bridges, Helen returns home to work for Denise.
The clashing sisters’ first charter is for the Falcon family, shady real estate developers who mowed down Helen and Denise’s childhood home to build condos. But then the latest Falcon building collapses—and a dead body turns up beside it. Helen and Denise comb through the wreckage to uncover just how low the Falcons will sink in order to stay afloat—before the big storm wipes out the evidence.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Two sisters get mad, get even, and have fun doing it in this hilarious novel from author Kate Myers. Detail-oriented Denise is a captain for a company that leases luxury yachts to clients who are wealthy, arrogant, and clueless. Her sister, Helen, has a gift for screwing up in a spectacular fashion, and when she loses yet another job, Denise adds her to the crew. Then she discovers that her latest client on the high seas will be the Falcon family—whose tacky real estate developments wiped away the sisters’ childhood home. From Helen and Denise’s bickering to the antics of the rich, we were on board for this romp from page one. And when the sisters learn that the Falcons have some skeletons in their closets, we couldn’t wait to see what they’d do with them. Myers fills the story with genuine suspense along with plenty of laughs, quickly turning these salty sisters into some of our favourite antiheroines on the page.
