Pages : 360
Book Description
The perfect blend of romance, mystery, and suspense… Unravel this twisty whodunit, perfect for fans of Elle Cosimano (Finlay Donovan Series), Richard Osman (The Thursday Murder Club), and Joanne Fluke (Hannah Swensen Series). You never get over your first love. How about your first murder? Smart and sassy book nerd Delilah Duffy moves to the island she loved as a child to reinvent herself as the manager of Beach Read. A tranquil seaside paradise seems like the perfect canvas for a fresh start. But she’s made mistakes before, and this might be another one. As Delilah tries to disappear into a quiet bookstore life in the touristy small town, disturbing acts of vandalism follow her every step. The message is clear—she’s not wanted there. Tensions escalate when a chilling murder stains the floors of her bookstore the night before her grand opening, and she’s quickly pegged as the prime suspect. Despite the community’s suspicion, one person stands by her—local cop Sam Teague, her first love and most devastating heartbreak. His unwavering support is a lifeline, but she can’t forget the pain he once caused. He broke her heart once—she can’t let it happen again. But nothing is as it seems. With evidence mounting and her second chance in jeopardy, Delilah must clear her name before the killer strikes again, even if it means confronting her past and joining forces with the one who left her broken. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “I absolutely loved every minute of this book. I just couldn't put it down until I had read every last word.” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “If you like mysteries, the beach, fun and engaging characters you really should read this book. It would be a perfect vacation read, especially if you go to the beach!” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Thoroughly enjoyed Sea Devil...interesting, well-written, thought-provoking page-turner. Looked forward to each chapter, not only to see what would happen next, but to learn intriguing facts about sea life. Impressed me enough to write my first review (and I read a lot of books)!” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “A bookstore, the ocean, a little romance, some laughs and a murder…this book has it all!” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “If you enjoy a quick beach read/cozy mystery/thriller, this is the book for you!” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “I enjoyed every minute of reading it.” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “A very vivid novel chalked full of suspense.

The Black Prince And The Sea Devils
Author: Jack Greene
Publisher: Da Capo Press
ISBN: 0786751282
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 310
Book Description
At the beginning of World War II, Prince Junio Valerio Borghese, dashing Italian nobleman, assembled the famous Decima MAS naval unit-the first modern naval commando squad. Borghese's "frogmen" were trained to fight undercover and underwater with small submarines and assault boats armed with a variety of destructive torpedoes. The covert tactics he and the Decima MAS developed, including the use of midget submarines, secret nighttime operations, and small teams armed with explosives, have become a standard for special forces around the world to this very day.After the Italian capitulation in 1943, Borghese determinedly fought on as a Fascist commando leader. After the war, he became a man of mystery, variously said to be involved with several right-wing conspiracies, abortive coups, and clandestine activity. The Prince's death in 1974 was every bit as mysterious as his life.Greene and Massignani have drawn upon official archives as well as information from Allied and Axis veterans in an unprecedented attempt to separate fact from fantasy in this detailed examination of Borghese, the Decima MAS, and the Italian naval special forces.

Sea Devils
Author: John Swinfield
Publisher: The History Press
ISBN: 0750954795
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 366
Book Description
Sea Devils is a compelling account of pioneer submariners and their astonishing underwater contraptions. Some made perilous voyages. Others sank like stones. Craft were propelled by muscle-power or had steam engines with chimneys. Some had wheels to trundle along the seabed. Others were used as underwater aircraft carriers.Here John Swinfield traces the history of early submarines and the personalities who built and sailed them. From a plethora of madcap inventors emerged a bizarre machine that navies of the world reluctantly acquired but viewed with distaste. It matured into a weapon that would usurp the mighty battleship, which had for centuries enjoyed an unchallenged command of the oceans. In its long and perilous history the submarine became subject to fierce business, military and political shenanigans. It won eventual acceptance amidst the chaos and carnage of the First World War, in which pathfinder submariners achieved an extraordinarily high tally of five Victoria Crosses, Britain’s highest military decoration.Sea Devils brims with daring characters and their unflinching determination to make hazardous underwater voyages: an immensely readable, entertaining and authoritative chronicle of low cunning, high politics, wondrous heroism and appalling tragedy.
