Hetta Coffey is a sassy Texan with a snazzy yacht, and she's not afraid to use it—most of the time.


She's an intrepid cruiser, but wild rumors of marauding gangs of flesh-shredding giant Humboldt squid on a rampage in the Sea of Cortez could keep even Hetta tied to an expensive dock.

However, when the opportunity for an intriguing and highly lucrative charter arises she talks her best friend, Jan, into signing on for a mysterious cruise.
Damn the calamari! Full bank account ahead!

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny, sweet, scary, intense! (Not a cliffhanger)
Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2018

If it were possible I would give this book five more stars just because I love all Jinx Schwartz books!
This book is funny, sweet, scary sometimes and very intense at times.
The story is about Hetta Coffey, her best friend Jan and her dog Po Thang.
It's also about massive squid, Mexican pirates, pearls and people who are not what or who they seem to be!
It's sweet story of friends who will do and say anything for each other. It's about who has your back when you're in trouble, who can you trust when you can't trust your neighbor, it's about greed and what some people will do to get what they want.
It's a scary story about Mexican bad guys who will kill to get what they want and then try to blame it on big sea creatures to keep people off the ocean.
It's a funny story about a woman and her dog and the antics they get into. Hetta's internal dialogue is so funny I was laughing out loud! My husband kept giving me a questioning look but never did ask me what was so funny! (He doesn't read much)
I recommend this book to everyone! It's age appropriate for teens and adults all the way to 95!
There are two men who love Hetta and her friend Jan and you will here from them towards the end of this book. Jen's Jenkins loves Hetta but shakes his head at her and he penchant for trouble.
Jan's boyfriend is Chino who also doesn't make much of an appearance until close to the end of the book and gets caught up with some less than law abiding characters and gets tied into a black trash bag!
Please get this book and read it as fast as you can.
It is book 7 in this series. I haven't read any of the first 6 books but I will certainly be on the look out for them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny, fast-moving and unique

For fun reading, this series is great. I really like Hetta Coffey -- she is smart, stubborn & funny. I have read all the Hetta Coffey books so far and hope there will be another one. Hetta isn't perfect, lI dislike mystery / thrillers where the hero(ine) is a genius with countless degrees before 20, a master at martial arts and model beautiful. Also those where the lead seems to have no friends and must tackle all challenges alone. Hetta comes with a coterie of wonderful characters that add to the snappy dialog and can be counted on to help untangle some knotty situations. The background of living on a boat in the Sea of Cortez and working as a civil engineer rings true and adds to my enjoyment of these books. Go ahead, give the series a try.

It was a quick and easy read, as is the rest of the series. A bit silly, but I do love Mexico and boats, so was completely absorbed by the story.
A little less concentration on guns in future please Jinx. We are not all crazy people in the rest of the world , so get your mind off them, they kill people.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not Your Average Cozy Mystery
Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2016

I am a die-hard Ms. Schwartz fan and have read all her Hetta Coffey books and one that wasn't (in the Hetta Coffey series). Besides snappy, mostly believable dialogue between two BFF's, I enjoy a strong woman protagonist for a change in man's world holding her own and then some--thank you very much! Not just an engineer, however, she is a woman with her own 45' yacht. It's obvious by her books that she loves and holds the Sea of Cortez in high regard as well as respects the people of Mexico as she throws in the appropriate Spanish with translation as well as boat lingo.

This book brings back Nacho. THAT was a surprise given his last involvement. Yes, there is a small but grudging attraction to the "bad" man with a heart and in this case is the secret person who charters her vessel through the Trob--her go-to for independent contracting work. Luckily for us, Hetta still has Po Thang in tow, or vice versa, as well as Jan, her cohort in keeping just ahead of the law and the Mexican slammer. Po Thang discovers a lonely dolphin and falls in love and there is a mysterious but gorgeous Scot who appears on scene to add to the fun. Where, or where is Jenks? These guys may be looking for deadly red squids or something smaller and JUST a little darker, but Hetta usually triumphs. Not JUST a book--it's a Hetta Coffey! Recommended fun read!

5.0 out of 5 stars You Can Start With Book Seven!

Jinx writes so conversationally, I was taken on a ride into a culture I know nothing about as a non-boatie. With her skill at generating reader curiosity as well as the best surprise ending I've ever read in a book, she made me laugh out loud and close the end of the book with a delightful bang! I also like fiction I can read fast, because I'm a non-fiction devotee. And on that note, I know she bases stories on real life even with the disclaimer, so that's a real attraction for memoir lovers like me. The neat thing is: I decided to jump into her latest book first, and discovered that I didn't need to have read the previous book sixes. I can read them in any order without need for chronology, even though its there, because she her individual stories are equally independent of the others as well as serial. Best effect of reading her book was being able to recapture my love for Agatha Christie and Nancy Drew mysteries as a child, but without Hercule and Nancy as main characters. Hetta Coffey is a lovable same-ager as me, adding to the identification and vicarious living. I also got to meet Jinx in person which really was a treat because she's as spirited as her books. And her voice is the same as her writing. Try to seek out meeting her. She's as fun as authors get!

Hetta's methods may be questionable but the results are good, as in the good guys 1 bad guys 0. Life on a boat can be envious but Hetta certainly finds herself in unenvious situations a lot. It is a good thing she has friends like Jan and Chino, and a long distance boyfriend like Jenks. Hetta's adventures make for great reading. Thanks Jinx.

I had not read the other books in the series before reading this, but it is easy to pick up the thread. Perhaps reading the earlier books would explain some of the "who would even do that?" moments, but that may also be the characterization. The cutesy spelling of words, like dawg for dog, was grating, but that has always been a pet peeve of mine. The story was well thought out, and the conclusion was not so outrageous as to be impossible. I'd read more of the series.

Saucy women and adventure fortunately the adventure won.
Well paced it kept you turning pages, and the characters were deep enough to enjoy.
Book seven the characters were still being developed often the author assumes you know them, it did have a little too much back story for my taste.

3.0 out of 5 stars trying too forcefully to be funny
Reviewed in Germany on July 12, 2016

First of all, the story itself, the plot, was great - squid suspected of killing divers, a boat owner, modern mix of Annie Oakley and Lara Croft, getting involved in the; the protagonists as such were interesting: boat owner Hetta in Mexican waters, her friend Jan, and their significant others far away.
Now - the telling of the story was something I just did not enjoy.
It was - if there is such a thing - too humorous; every sentence in a dialogue a joke (or trying to be), every description of any of the events trying to be funny or ironic or both - it was just too much.
In my opinion, Hetta's character suffered from that, so did Jan's to a lesser extent.
For me, these personalities just did not come over as being genuine; yes, people will crack jokes when in danger or unpleasant situations, but not as much as they did in this book.
Maybe if I had started reading this series from book 1 it would have been different, although as I understand, the books can be read out of order.
I think less would have been more in this case.
