Review: Just Different Devils by Jinx Schwartz  Hetta Coffey is a sassy Texan with a snazzy yacht, and she's not afraid to use it—most of the time. She's an intrepid cruiser, but wild rumors of marauding gangs of flesh-shredding giant Humboldt squid on a rampage in the Sea of Cortez could keep even Hetta tied to an expensive dock. However, when the opportunity for an intriguing and highly lucrative charter arises she talks her best friend, Jan, into signing on for a mysterious cruise. Damn the calamari! Full bank account ahead!                                                                                                  This is the sixth installment in the Hetta Coffey action/adventure mystery series. It includes moments of bothersome and humor. One of the best things about this series is the main character and her best friend. They are a little  worldly, a little crazy , funny ,brave and kick - ass. Both her freelance work and her living full time on a yacht get Hetta into unique situations and this series gives us an inside look at the world and culture of serious boaters.  In this book a recurring character ,Nacho makes an appearance once more. Nacho is a mysterious guy who appears to have ties to both government agencies and bad guys and is your basic rakish and charming , not sure what in the world you are actually about but you're exciting fellow.                    Various underhanded and nefarious goings on  lead Hetta to suspect that someone is blaming giant squid in order to cover up their operation. Even her dog gives us some moments of suspense which is saying something. You really want to root for Hetta . She is funny, zesty ans spunky. Ends are tied up neatly and satisfyingly.
