This was better than I thought it would be - started off a little slow but was a good mystery with an ending that you won't see coming...

I have enjoyed all the Victoria Trumbull Mysteries. They are well written.
I emailed the author and she answered with a humble response that seems appropriate for the author of these books. I wanted to know if she lives on Martha's Vineyard. I also wanted to know when her next book would be published. She said in spring of 2009. It turned out she was right. I have my name wish listed for her latest. Can't wait until my name comes up. Literally can't wait. I may have Amazon it. She's that good.

I loved the characters in this book, the protagonist is 92, whoa, and is delightful. But, I thought the story was very weak, I found myself not caring who did it and why. But the characters were enough to keep my turning pages even when I was bored with the story.

Book Description
When Colley Jameson, the unpopular, egocentric editor of the Island Enquirer abruptly cancels Victoria Trumbull's weekly column, the ninety-two-year-old Martha's Vineyard native takes her reporting skills to the competition, and immediately outscoops the Enquirer-with a murder story. Body parts of a local man wash up at two separate locations, and an investigation reveals that he was having an affair with a woman who is fatally poisoned-and just happens to be one of Jameson's ex-wives. A third victim connected to the newpaperman coincides with a series of fake obituaries detailing the ruthless editor's own demise. Certain she's the only person on the island with enough insight to save his skin-and his newspaper-Colley tells Victoria to name her price, before a killer terminates his career. . . permanently.
