Publisher Description
Heroine Zoe Hayes, a divorced art therapist with a six-year-old adopted daughter, returns with another gripping tale set in Philadelphia, this time taking place on the famous Boathouse Row.
On summer vacation from her job, Zoe takes a sculling class with her best friend, Susan. One evening, while her daughter waits with Susan's children at the boathouse on the banks of the Schuylkill River, the two mothers row off to practice for an upcoming regatta. But when their boat capsizes, Zoe and Susan find themselves flailing about amongst a throng of floating corpses. Someone along Boathouse Row is a murderer. But who?

" I enjoyed this book more so than her first. Not the greatest mystery, but held my interest enough. The main character in this book surely needs to receive an award for the world's worst mother, something that distracted me from the plot more than a little. "
— Marie, 3/30/2012 -
" Really enjoyed this book. Easy read but a lot of action to keep it interesting. Apparently it is a series so I will now have to research the order. "

" You can guess what's going to happen all the time in this book. "

" I didn't enjoy this book as much as I expected. I found the plot implausible, did not bond with characters. I have one more of her books to read, let's wait and see. "
