Publisher's summary

Fresh from her first murder case, Nantucket detective Merry Folger is unwillingly sucked into her second. When Joe Duarte, a fishing boat captain with decades of experience on the wild seas off Nantucket, is swept overboard during a spring storm, his death is pronounced accidental. But his estranged daughter, Del, is convinced it's murder. She moves back to Nantucket to get closer to the truth and enlists her old friend, Detective Merry Folger, to help. But Del is also hiding secrets of her own, and the police are not inclined to help her with what they see as a wild goose chase. Merry has to defy her boss - her father - in order to investigate.

Love this series!

I just knew I'd guessed who it was early on and still didn't get it. LOL!

Love this series! Looking forward to the next one. I've never been to Nantucket and enjoy reading about the setting as much as the mystery.

Good story

Story was good, but reader did not handle the masculine roles well - made them talk slow and weirdly. This was disconcerting to the overall

All good except reader

I like this series, but the reader will stop my listening. Her male voices are painful to listen to - it gets in the way of the story. I can’t buy anymore which is a bummer.
