The Bottom Line: Voted the year’s best Mystery novel in the 2024 BestThrillers.com Book Awards
The year’s best mystery combines incredible atmosphere, a world-weary detective, a powerful politican and an amateur sleuth that everyone can easily relate to.
When the body of a celebrated journalist is fished from the Edgartown Harbor, the official report rules his death accidental.
But why was he alone on a senator’s yacht during a nor’easter? That’s only the first question London-based lawyer Kyra Gibson has when she arrives on the idyllic island of Martha’s Vineyard to settle her estranged father’s affairs.
Kyra isn’t looking for closure. She’s not seen him in decades since he left her with her aunt following her mother’s death.
But as Kyra delves deeper into her father’s life, she learns he had many regrets and wasn’t as retired as she believed.
The more Kyra discovers, the more questions she has. With the help of detective Tarek Collins, they uncover a web of intrigue and corruption involving a powerful senator, a dubious energy company, and brutal murder.
As they chase down clues, Kyra and Tarek flirt with danger and race against time to solve the murders and uncover the dark secrets lurking beneath Martha’s Vineyard’s picturesque façade.
