Helpful Score: 5

I read this book in two days, but that doesn't mean it was good. It's the story of Tom and Jackie Hawks, a married couple who live and set sail on their yacht. Tom and Jackie are in great shape, love life, their family, and have lots of friends. When their first grandchild arrives, they decide they want to sell their boat and buy a home to be closer to their son and his family.

Skylar Deleon is a pathetic loser. He along with his loser wife and three loser friends scheme to kill Jackie and Tom, and take possession of their yacht and their bank accounts. The story unravels quickly and is one of the most horrific books I have ever read (I have read lots of TC).

Their is one drawback to this book: The book came out before Deleon went to trial. Want to read a good book on this case? Try Dead Reckoning by Caitlin Rother.
