The Cemetery Yew (Martha's Vineyard, Bk 3)
jlautner avatar reviewed on + 105 more book reviews


A competently written cozy mystery, featuring nonagenarian Victoria Trumbull.

In this case, Victoria assists the police chief in discovering who has buried a coffin that does not contain a body and how it was later allowed to be dug up. The cast of characters is large and the suspects many. In the end, Victoria outfoxes the clever criminal.

It is enjoyable to read of a detective who is advanced in years but not in mental deterioration, who admits to needing to sit down more often than she used to but is as sharp as ever.
