Book review: The Girl on the Boat: A prequel novella to the Mailboat Suspense Series by Danielle Lincoln Hanna

 




The Girl on the Boat: A prequel novella to the Mailboat Suspense Series by Danielle Lincoln Hanna
Having grown up on an island during the summer months and every weekend in other months I am familiar with this occupation.
We had to take a ferry to get to the island, at the very beginning there were no cars allows, just people. they would deliver mail at least once a day and the process is nothing like it is on the mainland.
This story starts out with the 3 cops at night and one finds a door had opened but only the picture shows the back side of a person. She goes to investigate and alerts the other two to help her as she has no weapon.
She ends up getting hit over the head and blacks out.
Another part of the story follows Bailey and she wants to try otu to be a mail jumper. Like this type of a job because she also would get to narrate a story of the surrounding area and what is famous about it.
I recall going on a ship at Lake George a few years ago and we had an awesome meal and the narration and dancing after. She gets advice from Barron who is a famous athletic guy at school when she notices he dropped a card.
She picks it up knowing what it is-a key card to access to a city building.
She's able to piece a few things together and has to decide whether to turn him in or not...
Like Captain Tommy as he holds everything together.
Good short novella and excerpts from other books in the series are included.
About the author and how she came up with the idea for this storyline are listed at the end.
