Elizabeth Sails
Monday, March 31, 2025
March’s book group read is Elizabeth Sails by Kristin Owens. Here’s a description:
Beth Schiff ghostwrites autobiographies for politicians, despite her own life not warranting a footnote. Excitement for her is re-watching classic movies with a Whitman’s Sampler. But when her adventurous Aunt Ethel dies, Beth must scramble out of her comfy sweatpants and into some Spanx to find the missing will aboard a luxury cruise ship.
Figuring out which fork to use at dinner becomes the least of Beth’s worries. The will isn’t lost … it’s hidden. Aunt Ethel has devised an elaborate scavenger hunt, and each port stop forces Beth to confront her list of insecurities to get the next clue. If she fails, Ethel’s millions will revert to a much-hated relative, Max, who is responsible for her dismantled family.
When someone starts trying to sabotage her search, the game becomes personal and her energetic septuagenarian tablemates rally to help. But Beth must make the puzzle pieces fit before the cruise ends or Max will get his greedy hands on the money destined for charities.
Available in Kindle format, audiobook, and paperback, you can purchase the book on Amazon or at these locations. Charlotte County Library’s copy is currently checked out.
We’ll meet at the PGICA at 1:00 pm on Monday, March 31 to discuss. Meetings are kept to an hour and we always welcome new readers, including men. Even if you don’t have a chance to read the book, but want to join in the fun, feel free to attend.
