Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Acerbic professor Marjorie Summerharp was reborn on Martha's Vineyard -- her mind and acid-tongue sharpened by the island's gentle waves and whispering breezes. So why would she walk into the ocean on a warm June morning, to be swallowed up forever by the hungry, merciless sea? Ex-Boston-cop 'J.W.' Jackson knows that evil can flourish even in the most serene of settings. And the more he investigates, the more it appears that the mysterious 'accidental' death of the renowned local scholar was more premeditated than it originally appeared. But nosing around in a snake pit of academic jealousy, adultery, and bogus religion could prove deadly for the policeman-turned-fisherman...especially when Jackson exposes too many sinister secrets that are well worth killing for.

Academicians descend upon the island with various professional jealousies and interesting talk of Shakespeare and Arthurian legends. But one of the professors goes swimming and gets pulled out of the water by fishing nets. Was it just a simple drowning accident? J.W. doesn't think so... the currents would have drifted her body miles from where it was located. Along the way in this very interesting story we run into a "sanctuary", which is a religious health camp full of European young people. We also find other professors with various motives for murder. The ending leads to an adventure with both J.W. and Zee put in extreme peril. Excellent! Delish!

This is the second novel in the Vineyard series. I think that Criag does an amazing job painting the picture of Martha's Vineyard, the fishing, and the people who inhabit this vacation paradise. In this novel, academics have come to this island to work and discuss their thesises. One academic, Ian, even threatens the relationship between J.W. and Zee. However this published hunk is no match for J.W., and Zee soons returns to her beloved. However, just as things come back together between the faithful couple, apparent suicide or murder of another academic sends this weekend hiatus into a crime scene. I give this book a three because there are some slow moving parts. For example. J.W. spend a good bit of time in the library researching and reading the academic's thesises, visiting with an older scientist, and visiting The Santuary. There were parts that I literally had to push myself through. However the climax is exciting, and I like the character J.W. I reccomend starting with the very first in this series _A Beautiful Place To Die_ and seeing if this series interest you.

This book was originally published as The Woman Who Walked Into the Sea, the second book in Craig's Martha's Vineyard series. The book was excellent then and it is still a good book. However, it is a shame that Amazon is not telling buyers that the book is a reprint.
