Product Description
Greenlaw, author of such nonfiction staples as The Hungry Ocean (1999) and The Lobster Chronicles (2002), turns her hand to fiction with this first installment of a projected mystery series. Jane Bunker gave up her law-enforcement job in Florida to become a marine consultant in Green Haven, Maine. She was hoping for a little quiet time, inspecting businesses for insurance-code violations, but what she found instead was a dead body, a murderous conspiracy, and a town where everybody seems to have a secret. The author, who lives in Maine (where she operates a lobster boat), does an excellent job of portraying a small town and its citizens. Her handling of the mystery elements of the story is less solid, she's guilty of a few rookie mistakes, such as making key plot points just a little too obvious but she's a smooth writer, and Jane is a likable protagonist. Given room to grow, this series could enjoy a long life.
