Who snatched her? Why? Paul and Connie each have their suspicions, but neither is right.

Connie's disoriented when she wakes up in the cabin of a strange yacht. She and Paul had quarreled after dropping off their charter guests in St. Lucia. Connie stormed off, leaving Paul at work aboard their yacht. She took their dinghy to run an errand, leaving it at a dock near the mall. When she returned, two men in a dinghy were circling, waiting for her space at the crowded dock. That was her last coherent memory. Connie focuses on surviving her captivity.

Paul was musing about Connie's foul mood while he worked. He was cleaning up when he learned that someone found their dinghy adrift. Worried about Connie, he falls back on skills honed by his years as a homicide detective. Deducing that she's the victim of kidnappers, Paul sets out to rescue her.

Read A Torn Sail and lose yourself in mystery, mayhem, and suspense in the Caribbean.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really relaxing read!

I really enjoy all of the books in this series. They are great at taking you away from the hustle and bustle of the real world. One thing I wish the books had was a better proofreading job (typos, misspellings, etc.), and some of the dialogue is a bit strained. I know how hard it is to get ideas and story line across through dialogue, and I appreciate the effort! With that said, they are well worth the read and the money!

I love this as part of the series. I enjoy the plots and how the characters handle the bad guys. I love the sense of humor. I enjoy learning about these locations of the Caribbean and the people living there. I can go on forever about what I love. The terminology concerning the sailboats. I love Connie, Paul, Dani, Liz, Sharktooth, Pillip and Sandrine and I probably missed a few. I can't put any of these books down!

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a very satisfying read that is highly recommended!

Another fine thriller from CLR Dougherty! This time, its more of a man's story. Paul Russo, the husband of Connie Barrera, uses all his cop skills to find and rescue his wife after she is kidnapped. The kidnappers are particularly violent and crazy, making this thrilling story all the more suspenseful.
As usual, the supporting cast of characters are those welcome friends from the BlueWater thriller series, and they don't disappoint!

5.0 out of 5 stars Crazy mixed-up bad guys to the fore
Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2018

What a gripping yarn! The bad guys certainly have it in for Connie and Paul...but I'll leave it to you find out what happens in this amazingly complex story. I only wish I had friends like Phillip, Sandrine, Sharktooth among others, not to mention a boat like Midnight Thunder and the wondrous technology involved. This Ninth book in the series is a must-read.

Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2019
This is the second time Connie has exploded on Paul for no reason,not sure I'd put up with that crap ! Don't want to give anything away. Then there is Paul's wishy washy attitude of not being able to follow through. So maybe he does deserve what he gets. Overall, a good marriage, ( truly sarcastic ) ! Not impressed with these two characters.

I love reading Charles's books great writer period! I think I have read nearly everything he has written, both fiction and nonfiction, and loved each and every one. Not a lot of writers you can say that about.
