Russian against Russian
Murder at the Marina by Janet Finsliver is an excellent book and apart of a series that I wouldn't mind reading from the beginning. Kelly is a fantastic character, and the story was great.
Kelly
Kelly is our main character, the point-of-view narrator, and sleuth extraordinaire with her trustee Silver Sentientils group to help out. She works as the manager of Redwood Cove Bed and Breakfast, and occasionally help out with the local old people group that solves crimes. Kelly is a great character, and I loved her a lot. She is different than the other sleuths that I have read since she has a group of other sleuths to help her out and that she rides horses. Not only that but she likes her job and seems to enjoy it. Kelly seems like she can go far in this series and that it looks like she has a budding relationship with a guy named Scott. Scott is teaching her how to cook and bake which is pretty funny in this one.
Rudy and Ivan
Rudy and Ivan Doblinsky are two Russian brothers who are in the middle of a case. No one in the police wants to do anything against the brothers as everyone seems to like them. Rudy is the youngest of the two and can talk in perfect English while Ivan is the oldest speaks in clipped English. Their story is a pretty interesting one, and I felt terrible for them since they don't deserve what is happening to them.
Mystery
The crime is that they found a dagger on their boat with blood on it that seems to be familiar to the two brothers. The other crime is that a dead guy who Rudy was going to sell some coins to is found dead on their boat. Kelly and the Silver Sentientils are there to help them figure out who did it. Well, when the police don't mind them trying to butt in. I had a feeling about who it was, but I wasn't sure. Let's just say that you have to pay attention to all the clues to make heads or tails and keep track of the suspects.
Five Stars
Murder at the Marina by Janet Finsliver is a mind gripping book that couldn't put down until figured out what was going on. I did feel bad for the Doblinsky brothers. I was even more invested every single time the red herring I thought did it proved to be false. The rating for this book is five stars, and I am recommending it to anyone that likes cozy mysteries and the California coast.
