What's the worst that can happen when a sailing yacht sets out to cross 1,600 miles of open ocean?


Connie Barrera and her fiancé, Paul Russo, were in high spirits when they left Annapolis. All their friends would be in Martinique to celebrate their arrival. Their marriage there would be a fitting end for Diamantista II's first offshore passage.


Their voyage takes a dangerous turn when Hurricane Ian springs to life in their path. Being caught in an unpredicted hurricane tests their seamanship, but there are worse things to come.


In mid-ocean with no way to communicate their plight, they're on their own when the real trouble begins.


What could be worse than a storm at sea? Read Storm Sail, the fourth Connie Barrera Thriller, and find out.

STORM SAIL
A Connie Barrera Thriller

CLR DOUGHERTY

Review by Roy Murry, Author

The Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea are the backgrounds of Captain Connie's thriller. She and her soon to be hubby Paul, pick up shipwrecked castaways on their way to the Caribbean islands.

The new guests, Gina and Dalton, are not what they seem. A psychological war to maintain control or takeover of the ship begins after one guest breaks into a box.

From there on, this thriller intensifies each day at sea, matching wits of the crew with some absurdities of their guests. The drama builds up to a surprising confrontation when Gina and Dalton find out the boat is near St. Thomas, keeping the reader on edge the whole voyage.

Dougherty's writing is always worth the "Dime" - enjoyable and all page-turners. This read was my second of the series.

Exciting thriller pitting a strong female protagonist (Connie Barrera) and her ex-cop fiance against an unlikely serial killer rescued at sea and his untrustworthy lady friend. Book kept me engaged throughout with fully fleshed out characters and plenty of twists and turns such that I'd definitely be on board with more of the Connie Barrera series. Very good book!

Now Connie’s dark cloud is over Paul too! Apparently the US has a history of missing hurricanes in their forecast. Glad Connie and Paul escaped the bad characters so we can enjoy another adventure. Thanks

My first novel by Charles Dougherty and I must say it was awesome. A thriller in the open seas of the Caribbean. A hurricane almost destroys the sailboat, a beautiful charter boat. Connie and Paul were traveling from US to Martinique to be married. After a lightning strike disabled their boat they found a couple in a raft whom they rescued. The couple lies and said their boat went down in the hurricane however we are aware he is a serial killer and his girlfriend could also be involved. As the escaped prisoner meth head recovers a plot to take over the boat and do unspeakable things to their rescuers takes shape. Great thriller novel. A must read

The book is ok. The author knows how to sail, which is fine, however he makes a point to insert instructions on how to sail. That would be fine if it fits into the normal flow of dialogue but there are times when it feels like you're reading an instruction manual. Not necessary.

5.0 out of 5 stars A psychological thriller!
Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2015

The duo of Connie Barerra and Paul Russo are a reader's delight. These books are thrillers for sure. This one is a bit different, however. I would say it is more of a "Psychological" thriller rather than an actioner. You won't see any explosions or high speed chases, or even a shoot out. But the tension is palpable, and builds to a crescendo with each passing chapter. Reminiscent of "Cape Fear", and a host of other thrillers, we know the bad guys are REALLY bad. But we also know that Connie and Paul are very capable of defending themselves. Will they be taken in by the deceit? Have they finally met their match? Are they suckered for a poor girl with a shady history?

The ending of this is surprising... I was fooled all along....as were our heroes.

This is an excellent work by the author of many first rate thrillers. I am so glade he is prolific, for I can't seem to get enough from his talented and mesmerizing pen.

I 'learned' more than I wanted to know about sailing since there was no way of understanding all the sailing terms without a translator. Other than that it was well written, with a good story line. Dalton and Gina were real psychopathic villains and Connie and Paul nice heroes.

I hoped for an interesting take on a mystery but there was not much of a mystery when you know who the baddies are and what they have done! If you are interested in sailing in the Caribbean then it has interesting points but not for someone who needs to work out who done it!!
