When former Miami homicide detective Jane Bunker left her big-city life for Green Haven, Maine, she thought she was also leaving behind the pollution, noise, and dead bodies. Well, as any New Englander will tell you, two out of three ain’t bad. After solving a murder and surviving a couple of attempts on her life (recounted in the bestselling mystery Slipknot), Jane Bunker believes she’s finally earned a respite from murder and intrigue. But if she thinks it’s time for her to soak up the peace and quiet she’s been seeking, she should think again. On her way back from a routine investigation into some smashed equipment, Jane takes a moment to appreciate the beauty of a Maine autumn – there’s the sublime rainbow foliage of the highlands, the serene reflections of the setting sun on the bay’s gentle waves, the elegant silhouette of a lobster boat on the bay. But her calm lasts only as long as it takes for Jane to make the chilling discovery that the vessel is in serious trouble with nobody aboard – and that its owner has vanished without a trace... And that’s the least of the mysteries. A young mariner dead of a heroin overdose; the real agenda of a charismatic Indian leader; a missing bait iron and a corpse painted red – nothing is what it seems.

" Good, but I prefer her non fiction. "
" Greenlaw is a very good writer and tells a good story. "
" Second in a series set in a sleepy Maine town. Its filled to the brim with eccentric characters and is a combination of maritime literature, humor and a fast moving plot. "
" Nice lightweight mystery, though I had this one figured out about half way through. Still the characters are worth getting to know. "
" I do love Linda Greenlasw books. They are so Maine coastal. "
" Jane Bunker, marine property insurance investigator and deputy sherif, remote Maine fishing communities. "
" A good follow on to Slip Knot. Another murder in the fishing community of a small down-east Maine sea side town. I really enjoy the characters and descriptions of sea-side Maine living. "
" This second novel by Linda Greenlaw about Jane Bunker, insurance investigator and now deputy ,shows improvement over her first book of fiction, Slipknot. I hope she writes more! "
" Love those Maine/Seafaring books. "
" Fun read because of the nautical setting "
" Jane investigates the disappearnce/murder/suicide of fisherman Paul Avery. Is it related to his son's OD from herione? Second in the mystery series set in Coastal Maine. "
" I enjoyed this. I'd be happy to read more in this series. I seem to read a lot of mysteries connected with fishing, and this is yet another slant. Certainly doesn't make me want to live in Maine, but a visit would be fun. "
" Certainly not a page-turner. I read about 2/3 of the book and have no desire to read any further. "
" In all honesty I did not finish listening to this. It was incredibly boring but the description sounded so good. "
" Another enjoyable new series cozy. Greenlaw's fiction is good if not as strong as her nonfiction. "
" Former Miami cop returns to Maine as a deputy sheriff and insurance investigator. #2 in series "
" Not as intense as her first mystery. More of a meandering story where a lot of things happen at the end. Somewhat satisfying conclusion, although it seems like there were some loose ends that were not tied up. "
" Because I am leaving for Maine in a few days I thought this would be a fun read. It's quite light and I had fun attempting to identify the setting of the two fictitious towns. A light-weight mystery. "
" I keep reading this author and hoping the next book will be better. A quick read, so I didn't spend much time hoping! "
" I was given this books as a gift. I appreciate the gift, but the story in only two stars--not een average. Not enough dialogue; poorly written in spots and just flat out uninteresting. Recommended only for the mystery fans who has read everything else. "
