"When a woman's husband is killed, you're susposed to do something about it."


Phil (short for Philomena) Byrnes and her husband ran their Gloucester MA detective agency until he was killed at his desk. It's not a case of her stepping into his spot to keep the family business running  -- she was a working detective long before his death -- and she makes for a refreshingly prickly widow.


Now Phil runs the agency with the help of her assistant Buzzy, with occasional forays to Papa's Bar, for a little liquid refreshment now and then, and some occasional paternal advice from Papa. She's also helped out in her investigation by Detective Jim Colman, a member of Gloucester's finest, who has a soft spot for Phil, though she seems largely unaware of it. Evidently she's still trying to come to terms with her husband's murder.

A graceful primer on life and how to sail through it with character,
easy grace, and personal priorities all in a row.Kirkus Reviews

Robb White knows everything there is to know about getting on the water and staying
there as long as you possibly can. While still a young boy, he built his first boat, hewn from
the tin roof of an abandoned chicken coop. In How to Build a Tin Canoe, this Southern
raconteur and self-taught, expert wooden-boat builder offers a wryly humorous journey
through a life lived on the water and the lessons learned along the way.

Robb White is the owner and proprietor of the boat-building company Robb White & Sons. A regular contributor to the publications WoodenBoat and Messing About in Boats, he is widely regarded for his boat knowledge and his working theory of life. He splits his time between southern Georgia and Florida's Apalachee Bay.
