2nd Canadian Book Club Challenge-#1-- Margartia Nights---British Columbia

This was a very quick read for me. Phyllis Smallman is a new Canadian Crime Writer. I rather enjoyed this book. I like murder mysteries, and this one was fun to read because of the characters that she created in her book. I met this author at the Book Expo in Toronto, as she was signing with Louise Penny, another Canadian crime writer. Both women were very enjoyable to talk with. I would gladly pick up another of her books, so hopefully she will keep writing.
Her main character Sherri is a bartender in Florida. She is separated from her husband Jimmy Travis. When Jimmy's boat blows up, she becomes the main suspect in the police's investigation. Sherri does some investigating on her own with a wee bit of help from her friends. If you like murder mysteries, then there is something for everyone in this novel.
Enjoyable read for me.
