Francine Mathews wrote the wonderful Jane Austin-as-dectective stories under the name of Stephanie Barron. Here she writes about modern day Nantucket. Another book filled with sea spray and fresh fish. This murder mystery is set amongst the art world, developers, and the founding families of Nantucket. A cold case that heats up an island spring.

This was pretty interesting, but for some reason I found it disconcerting that it was set in the US, but written like an English mystery. The phrasing of the sentences, the vocabulary, etc., all sounded very English. Oh and the detective was oddley very put off by death...

So. Boring. Took forever to get into the story, then it drags on and on with just filler-- nothing is added to the 'mystery'. Plus, the heroine is full of contradictions in her personality. I doubt I'll be reading an more from this author.

Liked this Francine Mathews better than others I have read--perhaps getting into her character more. Descriptions of life on Nantucket add a lot to the book. Because I had read a later book of her first, I recognized where the plot was going, but still a good read.
