Suffering from Kurt Wallander withdrawal - having ripped through all the Henning Mankell series featuring that estimable police detective this winter - I picked up Dark Harbor, which had been available at the office of the yacht broker we haunt on Maryland's Eastern Shore, hoping to find a sailboat we can afford. (Thank you, Lou, for talking it up to us!) It is terrific! I am a little more than halfway through, thoroughly hooked, and while both Nora and Van can be annoying at times, I find them compelling characters; and the plotting, settings, and character development are wonderfully well-done. I just visited Vivian's website and am delighted to see that she (with her co-author?) have a sequel in the works. She sounds like my kind of person, too, and I look forwarding to perhaps meeting her some day wandering around our beloved Chesapeake Bay. Thank you, Vivian and Lawrence for writing an absorbing and nuanced mystery, and please keep them coming!
