Body in the Boathouse
(2025)(The third book in the Wharf Rats Mystery series)
A novel by Jackie Sharp
It’s happened again. Another dead body discovered at Sea Breeze Marina.
It was supposed to be a celebratory dinner at Dine on the Dock restaurant. Instead, the discovery of a body floating in a boathouse, casts a grim shadow over the whole community of Shell Bay.
As Detective Sergeant Linda Jenkins grapples with the new, high-profile murder case, an unexpected visitor from the past arrives to throw her life into chaos, just when she needs to be at the top of her game.
As Linda digs deeper, she uncovers a sinister plot involving dark secrets, and yet again the far-reaching influence of the Nautilus Circle. With the help of the quirky Wharf Rats, Sea Breeze Marina’s amateur sleuths, they must race against time to catch the killer before they strike again.
But the closer Linda gets to the truth, the more danger she finds herself in. The Nautilus Circle will stop at nothing to protect their interests, and Linda must risk everything to expose their dark machinations and bring the murderer to justice.
In a thrilling showdown, the Wharf Rats and Linda’s trusty (but slightly chaotic) team face off against the killer, leading to a shocking revelation that will change the town forever. With twists and turns at every corner, "Body in the Boathouse" is a gripping tale of secrets, lies, and the lengths people will go to protect their own.
