Carla Neggers Rival's Break (Sharpe & Donovan #9)


Rival's Break (Sharpe & Donovan #9) by author Carla Neggers opens with the Emma, Donovan brothers and extended family attending Andy's wedding reception. Kevin, a marine patrol officer, is called away and brother Colin goes along. When they reach the marina and board a yacht where more than a dozen partiers are down with what appears to be a sudden onset of food poisoning. Could there possibly be a sinister biological poison at play on the yacht? The case of 'food poisoning' becomes more suspect when Colin recognizes Jeremy Pearson, an MI5 British undercover officer who is posing as an art consultant. During the confusion of getting the sick transported to medical care, a painting owned by Georgina Masterson goes missing from the yacht. This sets off a search for answers which will touch the lives of family and friendships. I have enjoyed this series about the Sharpes and Donovans through all of the books. Even though it is a series, this book can be read as a stand-alone book with no problems.
