Much Ado about Nauticaling

After far too many years in the Los Angeles corporate world, Whitney Dagner has come home to Santa Catalina Island off the California coast to help her brother Nick run Nautically Yours, the family tourism business. Between gift shop shifts selling all manner of T-shirts and tchotchkes and keeping her feline Whiskers in fine fettle, she pilots the Sea Bounder, a glass bottom boat showing tourists the underwater sights of aquatic plants, marine life - and a murder victim? The self-proclaimed 'Master of the Island,' Jules Tisdale was a wealthy man with business interests throughout Catalina, who was about to be honoured as Person of the Year before someone strangled him with his own tie and tossed his body into the water. That someone appears to be Nick, who had a raw deal from Jules and no alibi the night of his murder. To clear her brother's name, Whit will have to investigate Jules's shady associates and not exactly grief-stricken family members - with the unwelcome help of Felix Ramirez, police diver and Whit's ex-boyfriend, who's looking to rekindle their relationship
