Judge Deborah Knott (this is part of a continuing mystery series) goes to the Beach in North Carolina to enjoy a convention with colleagues and also take a break from her newish marriage of 7 months and the struggling stepmom issues she's been having.
Unfortunately, while getting ill on the side of a pier after a few too many margaritas, she discovers a colleague floating facedown in the water, apparently strangled to death. A colleague that she noticed was not very popular in the bar, and who also happened to get into an argument with a well known television actor right before he entered the bar.
Being Deborah, she can't leave it alone for the police to figure out the crime, and the investigative intrigue, mystery and danger begins!
A whodunit without a lot of gore - I can't stand the new idea of placing copious amount of gross into the story.
Not a fat book, but it's a good story and great for a quick read at the beach.
