Synopsis
Do-it-yourself killer fixes small-town thug...
For ex-Wall Streeter Jacobia Tiptree and her teenaged son, Sam, September promises tranquil days winter-proofing their rambling handyman's special of a home in Eastport, Maine. But there's nothing idyllic about this Down East autumn. For starters, the return of truly vicious native son Reuben Tate stirs up the town. And when somebody slits Reuben's throat and hangs his corpse on the cemetery gate, the police trace a bloodied scalpel to surgeon Victor Tiptree--Jacobia's former husband. Yet Jake knows her troublesome, trouble-prone ex is capable of just about anything except murder. Proving that, though, is another matter.
Eastport is packed with tourists and former residents for the annual Salmon Festival--and Jake soon realizes any Eastporter, past or present, has motive for Tate's murder. To nail the real killer, Jake and her best friend, Ellie White, must probe a past as rotten as crumbling claoard, while a secret hatred builds toward a series of murders even more brutal than Reuben Tate himself....

Reviews
I don't believe in destroying other peoples property or littering which are good things because if either one of those were not in place there is a very good chance the discs for this book would have gone sailing through the window of my car this weekend. I will be honest, I did not get past the first disc and a half. It starts out interesting, and I have no doubt it has an interesting plot. It seemed that it did but the author continually interrupts her dialogues with overly long descriptions of the decor, the characters clothing, the surrounding and then gets back to the dialogue only to resume the description with the next character. It is hard to get engaged and harder still to stay that way. If I could give this less than one star I would and if there was way to mark an author do no order again she would be the very first on my list.
