Even if you never get to visit Nantucket Island off the coast of Massachusetts, a good deal of its sunny charm and foggy mystery are on tap in Francine Mathews's books about local police detective Meredith Folger. This time out, a dog digging on a beach uncovers a human skeleton--setting Folger off on a search for the link between old and new murders. As always, Mathews knows how to balance the cozy details of island life with the harsher realities of crime and punishment. Her last Nantucket saga,
Death in Rough Water, is available in paperback.
From Library Journal
Detective Meredith Folger of the Nantucket police relishes the thought of solving an eight-year-old murder, especially since the initial missing person's investigation was flubbed by an incompetent. Meredith feels that she "owes" the dead woman, a prominent female psychiatrist, some kind of resolution regardless of their impact on her children?the same children (offspring of the woman's last lover) who discovered the body. Vivid description, good interrogative technique, psychological undercurrents, and island atmosphere characterize this good Nantucket series.
