Despite the annoying references to Bruce Springsteen (I had roommates in college who played him nonstop and I can't stand him), this was an excellent mystery that kept me guessing and changing suspects every chapter. I liked the characters and the setting at the Jersey shore (where I've vacationed several times, but a long time ago). I will read the next one in the series.
