I have read every book in this series, but this is my favorite. We are treated to the usual ambiance of Martha's Vineyard (Craig really makes me want to go there!) with fishing trips followed by gourmet blue-fish and crab dinners, but this also includes some real suspense and action with our hero being pursued by a mysterious bad guy. If you want to be convinced to read the rest of the series, read this one first!

Yes it is out of print, but look for it in used bookstores. In fact look for the whole series. These are very good light reading. The characters are good and the stories keep you interested. I no longer fish, but I enjoy reading about these characters who do love fishing, cooking, nude sunbathing, and other island type lifestyles. I don't think a lifestyle of this type would be for everyone, and I know it's not for me, I enjoy air conditioning, television, and the middle of the country, although a visit to Martha's Vineyard isn't beyond hope.

Find all of the out of print ones if you can, visit the library and find those you can and then plunge in and enjoy.

This mystery brings the brother of a dead college girl out of his Army special forces unit, on a mission to avenge his sister's wrongful death. Somehow, our hero J. W. Jackson gets caught in the crossfire, and must stop this man from killing his friend, a college professor. The book also features a side story that at first you think may be the main story, but which disappears until the very end of the book.

I considered this a sub-par Martha's Vineyard book. Better to stay on the island, Mr Craig.
