Good intro for a new-to-me mystery series! But why did they choose a British narrator for a story set in the USA? ( )
  SharronA | Nov 12, 2023 |
This audiobook took place in Martha's Vineyard, providing a delightful setting. The description of the Island is undoubtedly accurate as the author ,Cynthia Riggs, lives on Martha's Vineyard. Her feisty, 92 year-old amateur sleuth, regarded as an honorary deputy to the West Tisbury Police Department for all her help in solving another crime in Riggs' first book, is at it again. She is asked by the Conservation Trust on the Island to find the beautiful and delicate Cranefly Orchard on land that has been sold by a crotchety inhabitant of the Island. As she searches with her 11 year old assistant, whom she grows very fond of, they discover the body of a local attorney. The suspense builds and the ending does not fail to excite us as Victoria bravely carries on in the face of crafty criminals trying to get away with their plan. I would be willing to listen to another book in this series and am going to find the first one, since I started out of order with the second. The reader was quite good, also. I listened to this on a Playaway, one of the local Libraries newest methods of media. ( )
