Review

"I have read all of Don Rich's books, and just love them. I am an aficionado of the locale he uses, but I appreciate and enjoy his characterizations and plot." - David Thatcher Wilson, Author of An Eastern Shore Sketchbook

"Michael "Murph" Murphy is a protagonist that will appeal to men and women readers alike, and promises to be the center of attention as the Coastal series moves ahead. Well written in clean, tight prose with strong dialogue and an interesting set of characters. Kudos, Don!"
John H. Cunningham, Author of The Buck Reilly Series

From the Author

In this first installment of my new Coastal Adventure series, we find some familiar characters from my original Chesapeake books, as well as some unique new ones that I think you'll really like. I'm really excited about both this book as well as the series, and I hope that I'll keep you guessing as the characters' story unfolds both in this book and the ones that will follow it.So, grab a libation, relax in your favorite chair while you meet some new "friends" as they tell you their story. Prepare to be entertained!

Don Rich is the author of the bestselling Coastal Adventure Series. His books are set mostly in the mid-Atlantic due to his love for this stretch of coastline. As a Florida native who grew up on the water, he has spent a good portion of his life on, in, under, or beside it.

He now makes his home in central Virginia. But when he's not writing, he can often be found in a marina or a boatyard, researching his next book. Either there or out on the Chesapeake or the Atlantic with a fishing rod in his hand, talking to other anglers and crews, finding inspiration for new and interesting characters.

Looking forward to more ...
I fully enjoyed the story within "Coastal Conspiracy" by Don Rich. It is the first in his "Coastal" series, and I look forward to exploring the other books that follow. Having spent eight years in the Tidewater Virginia area with the Navy, I could easily relate with the setting and descriptions within the book. I can't tell you how many time we sat at anchor out on the Lynnhaven anchorage as our birds did their "touch and go" training. The descriptions brought back many memories. Well done, Mr. Rich. Keep them coming.

    A Perfect Beach Read

    Even if you’re land-locked at home, this tale of a group of boat-loving wharf rats who swap fishing stories over beers at a small marina on the Eastern Shore of Virginia will draw you in. Recently relocated charter boat owner Michael “Murph” Murphy and his girlfriend, Lindsay, are in the process of buying the long-neglected marina with plans to fix it up and make it more attractive for tourists and other boat owners. The current marina residents are wary of the newcomers and their plans, until Lindsay and Murph are targeted by bomb-wielding criminals for no known reason.

    The plot provides the action, but the quirky characters are the story. Spending time with Murph, Lindsay and guys named Baloney, Faffer, Ripper and Hard Rock will keep you utterly entertained. As this book is the first in a series, I plan on sitting down and enjoying more stories from this motley crew. They’re as refreshing as an ocean breeze on a summer day.

    Rehoboth doesn’t have a high-dollar fishing tournament (Ocean City does, but not mentioned). There are no malls in lower Delmarva.

    My brother in law is involved in a rebuild/remodel of a marina near Beaufort, NC. I’ve told him about this book so when he finds time he will probably read it. The Marina community celebrates beer Wednesday every week, so the beer thirty bunch is very similar to their gatherings. I enjoyed the book very much.

    Coastal Conspiracy was a great start to a new series by Don Rich. Set on the Eastern Shore of Virginia, the story introduces a wide cast of characters, many of whom will no doubt appear repeatedly in subsequent installments of the series as the story arc covers the redevelopment of Mallard Cove into multi-use marina, hotel and restaurant facility simultaneously with a human trafficking ring targeting young woman in the same area. Michael “Murph” Murphy is a protagonist that will appeal to men and women readers alike, and promises to be the center of attention as the Coastal series moves ahead. Well written in clean, tight prose with strong dialogue and an interesting set of characters. Kudos, Don!

    I have never read a book twice, until now! I have previously read this entire series,and then I discovered Coastal Beginnings. In the authors notes at the beginning of Coastal Changes (book 1), Don states the purpose of the series as a precursor to Coastal Adventures, but if you had already read Adventures, that's OKAY, these will fill in a LOT of blanks! He was absolutely correct!!! So, my recommendation is, if you haven't, read Beginnings; if you have, ENJOY Adventures😁😁
