SALTY

This smart summer page turner with the show-stopping cover is perfect for a vacation beach bag! Denise, a seasoned yacht captain, is as professional and practical as her rebellious younger sister Helen is free-spirited. When Helen joins Denise at sea to help staff a wealthy family’s boat, they forge an unlikely alliance against the owners - who happen to be the shady real estate developers who razed their childhood home. A building collapse, a dead body and plenty of hijinks are in store in this clever summer winner!

Who doesn’t love a good revenge story? Just like Excavations - the author’s last book (soon to be a series on Peacock!) - this novel skewers the arrogant jerks of the world in spectacular fashion and wow is it fun to watch them go down. Hop on board for a sharp, breezy, original story that’s a unique balance between clever upstairs-downstairs satire and some nautical escapism. Kate Myers’s signature wit had me rooting for this sister duo until the last page!

The key lime bars in this story are similar to Denise’s mom’s recipe, but taste “expensive.” So what makes key lime bars fahn-cy? I’d like to think it’s the extra lime zest and the super thick graham cracker crust in these! I’m a key lime pie aficionado after many family trips to southwest Florida and for the record: these bars rival any pie I’ve tasted! Recipe HERE - so easy and the perfect sweet/tart pairing for SALTY!
