Publisher Description
The last thing she wants is to dig up the past…
When the body of a celebrated journalist is fished from the Edgartown Harbor, the official report rules his death accidental. But why was he alone on a senator’s yacht during a nor’easter? That’s only the first question London-based lawyer Kyra Gibson has when she arrives on the idyllic island of Martha’s Vineyard to settle her estranged father’s affairs.
She’s not looking for closure. She’s not seen him in decades since he left her with her aunt following her mother’s death. But as Kyra delves deeper into her father’s life, she learns he had many regrets and wasn’t as retired as she believed. The more Kyra discovers, the more questions she has. With the help of world-weary detective, Tarek Collins, they uncover a web of intrigue and corruption involving a powerful senator, a dubious energy company, and brutal murder.
As they chase down clues, Kyra and Tarek flirt with danger and race against time to solve the murders and uncover the dark secrets lurking beneath Martha’s Vineyard’s picturesque façade of old money wealth and privilege.

Immersive Writing Made Makes Me Want to Visit a New England Beachtown
I picked this up because the second book in the series looked so good (murder and the discovery of a pirate ship wreck!!) , but I had to start at the beginning. Definitely a cozy mystery since it really focuses on painting the picture of each location and there is no gore-y violence . I would read this book late at night or early in the morning when I couldn’t sleep and wasn’t too stressful for late night reading escapes. The author writes in a way that I can really picture the settings. Love that there is some diversity and representation in the book. Really enjoyed the depiction of the climax. Won’t spoil, but I definitely wouldn’t survive that! Excited to now get down the real meal of the second book: love when there is a modern and a historical mystery intertwined and fact that it involves pirates…yes please.
