Dead in the Water
If you like the old fashioned Cozy/Amateur Sleuth style of mysteries you may like this book:
Dead in the Water: A Daisy Dalrymple Mystery by Carola Dunn.
Set in 1923 England, Daisy Dalrymple is visiting the country house of her aunt and writing a story for an American magazine about the rowing events of the Henley Regatta. Her cousin's boyfriend is the captain of Oxford's Ambrose College team so the team is staying at the house also. (The Cox sleeps in the closet because he is short!) Team spirit is not the best due to some social class conflicts. The plot includes many scenes on the water including the first death. This is an easy reading murder mystery, enjoyable but I would get it from the library and not buy it myself.
