Publisher Description
Red Snapper Poachers Suspected of Murder, The Ripples Swing Into Action in Rip Tide, a Cozy Mystery, by author Jeanne Glidewell
Senior citizens and full-time RVers, Rip and Rapella Ripple are spending the holidays with daughter Regina, in their hometown of Rockport, TX. When Regina's new husband, Milo Moore, becomes a suspect in an off-shore harpooning homicide, the Ripples set out to exonerate him.
But proving Milo didn't harpoon his best friend and business partner, Cooper Claypool--with Claypool's spear-gun while out poaching red snapper in the Gulf of Mexico--is more challenging than the Ripples anticipated.

Good mystery
In Texas for the holidays and to visit their daughter and her new husband tragedy strikes close to home for Rapella and Rip. Milo their new son in law is under suspicion for the murder of his best friend and business partner. Unable to let the couple hang out to dry Rapella eagerly and Rip somewhat reluctantly decide to investigate the murder. There’s quite a cast of characters surrounding this case and the Ripples have their hands full trying to get to the bottom of the it. However nothing will stop them from helping their family in a time of need.
Generally speaking this is an enjoyable cozy mystery. It drags a bit in the middle but not so much that I stopped reading. That being said I have mixed feelings about the story and the series. On the one hand this is a very interesting and surprising mystery. It definitely keeps you guessing. I would never have predicted the ending, a great trait of a mystery. On the other hand I’m not sure how much I like the characters and I’m a very character driven reader. Rapella is forthright on the verge of brash and annoying. There is always a bit of fibbing when you have an amateur sleuth as your main character however she never thinks things through and she comes up with the most ridiculous lies it’s mind boggling to think they’re plausible. So I’m a bit torn as to whether or not I’ll continue with the series.
I received this book for free from eBook Discovery. I voluntarily review this book. This is my honest review.
