A fun, light read for lovers of impossible crimes. Of course some of the solutions are outlandish and it seems Northmont is about a deadly a place to live as Midsomer is. The stories continue the timeline from the previous collection and you get to see a small New England town advance (or not) over the years as technology creeps in from the outside world. Dr. Sam is an engaging character and it's a pleasant way to spend an hour or two at a time letting your disbelief suspend.
