It's so hard to come up with lists like this. There are sooo many books. Some recently read favorites are The Book of Air and Shadows by Michael Gruber, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling, Pegasus Descending, James Lee Burke, No Country for Old Men, Cormac McCarthy, The Shadow of the Wind, Carlos Ruiz Zafon.
Sounds like a wonderful series, Christine. Is it usual for a woman to run a tug boat? (I'm not chauvenistic, I promise. It just seems like a tough job.) I have a friend who's writing a suspense novel in which the protagonist has a charter boat in Miami. It's called The Rose Tattoo by Heather Aames.
Christine, thanks for being my friend! Wow, a fatal fixer-upper boat? That sounds great! My series is set in a small town on the coast of Maine - not exactly Florida, but still, there are boats there - so one of these days I might be picking your brain! Happy 2008 to you, too!
