British actress Amanda Brent, beautiful and prudish, certainly encounters bad luck sailing her yacht off the Guernsey Islands. First, authorities charge her with the apparent murder of her wealthy husband when he falls overboard after trying to kill her; then, a year later, she stands accused of murdering her second husband when the yacht is wrecked during a return visit. Most of the time, the incredibly gullible, shallow, and stupid Amanda seems to wear blinders amidst the backstabbers, limp prose, and simple plot. The vivid sailing jargon may attract a reader or two, but the rest will let this one sail away.
