Linda Greenlaw's first stab at mysteries was pretty good. I liked the character of Jane Bunker--smart and fiesty without being overly girly. Authors of female detectives typically give them annoying shopping or shoe fetishes in an attempt to "balance out" their occupation of choice. I'm glad the author decided to skip this tendency. Greenlaw does a good job of decribing the coastal Maine fishing town and its inhabitants. It is hard to believe the town doesn't actually exist. Sometimes she gives too much attention to the mechanics of boats for the general reader however. Men tend not to be drawn to cozy mysteries, but they might like this aspect of the book more than I did.
