I don't believe in destroying other peoples property or littering which are good things because if either one of those were not in place there is a very good chance the discs for this book would have gone sailing through the window of my car this weekend. I will be honest, I did not get past the first disc and a half. It starts out interesting, and I have no doubt it has an interesting plot. It seemed that it did but the author continually interrupts her dialogues with overly long descriptions of the decor, the characters clothing, the surrounding and then gets back to the dialogue only to resume the description with the next character. It is hard to get engaged and harder still to stay that way. If I could give this less than one star I would and if there was way to mark an author do no order again she would be the very first on my list.

“Ms. Graves has created a bright and personable new detective who has been welcomed into the Eastport community with warmth and affection.” Dallas Morning News
“Graves skillfully…draws out the suspense. Good entertainment.” Publishers Weekly
“Small-town cozies feature tiny hamlets that have higher homicide rates than any crime-ridden metropolitan neighborhood! Graves skillfully creates another such town in Eastport, Maine, along with a tight plot, clever idioms, and a horde of eccentric characters. Lindsay Ellison’s narration is crisp, and her delivery of pithy sayings spot-on. She even manages to deliver a down-east accent without slipping into caricature. She chuckles with obvious delight at the dialogue, whispers conspiratorially about dark secrets suitable for blackmail, and expresses her dismay with the new ‘sly, grinning worm in the apple.’ The clever dialogue drives this novel, creating characters sparkling with life.” AudioFile
