4.0 out of 5 stars
Nautical New England guy mystery,
By Carol Peterson Hennekens (Colorado Springs, CO United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Billingsgate Shoal (Audio Cassette)
This is a very solid read. I'm a little surprised it won an Edgar but it was almost 20 years ago. Standards may have changed. What stands out about this mystery is the nautical/Cape Cod element. Boats and ships and ship building are the core of this novel. I found this interesting. The plot is a little far fetched, but I'm not a bored guy trying to get through a mid-life crisis by poking my nose into a murder. My middle aged husband has gotten quite a kick out of this book - so maybe it's a guy thing. Bottom line: a good read - easy to imagine the reader on the beach with this story. I'll check out at least one other Boyer book.
5.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Billingsgate Shoal (Mass Market Paperback)
How this book won any type of award is beyond me. The main character's wield of power over local law enforcement authorities is about as unrealistic as they come. I gave this book 164 pages to "grow up" but it let me down. Adios, Mr. Boyer.
