YA. This light mystery with a gothic touch takes place in 1907 in the California seacoast towns of Monterey and Carmel. Intrepid typist Fremont Jones, who appeared in two previous books, has left San Francisco and taken a temporary job as a lighthouse keeper. She finds a body floating in the surf near her beach. The police seem uninterested in the woman's identity, and her body disappears from the local mortuary after the coroner rules that she was murdered. Later, Fremont is attacked by a masked rider as she travels through the fog-shrouded forest in her rig. Caught up in these baffling events, she decides to find out who the woman was and who killed her. Meanwhile Fremont's mysterious lover is living nearby in a colony of bohemian artists. His eccentric friends add much color and humor to the story, and eventually lead to the solution of the crime. Teens should enjoy this romantic mystery with its interesting historical setting.?Penny Stevens, formerly at Fairfax County Public Library, VA
