J.W. Jackson is amazed to discover that the girl he met on the Vineyard's South Beach is Cricket Callahan, daughter of the vacationing President of the United States. And he's shocked when the Chief Executive agrees to let the spirited teen remain with J.W. and wife Zee. But when a corpse inconveniently pops up out of nowhere, J.W. and his lady love are the only ones who can protect the feisty First Kid from a vengeful killer.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Shore fishing, clambakes, beer, sunsets, murder and vacation,
By Teddy Sullivan (Overland Park, KS USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Deadly Vineyard Holiday (Martha's Vineyard Mysteries) (Mass Market Paperback)
The sleuth lives a lifestyle I relish and admire. An ex-cop living on Martha's Vinyard spendind his days fishing, digging for clams, and walking the beach. His nights are spent with his beautiful wife, sipping on cold Sam Adams while watching the sun go down over the Nantucket sound. Everthing is how it should be until they're asked to hide the President's daughter from would be assasins. The plot is nothing special, but "Craig's" descriptions of Island Living and contentment made me wish I was in a hammock with an ale in my belly. Craig will take ten pages to describe the beauty of the shore at sunrise while you're fishing for Bluefish, "oh by the way, the killer is in his car watching from across the street". A wonderful lazy-day read.
4.0 out of 5 stars
a solid read,
By J. Robert Ewbank (Mobile, Alabama) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Deadly Vineyard Holiday (Martha's Vineyard Mysteries) (Mass Market Paperback)
Philip Craig has written a good book. It is one of a series and this is the only one that I have read.This mystery involves the daughter of he President of the United States who just happens to meet the hero of the story on the beach, and then in his truck, and then in his home. The mysteries go on from there but you will find that it is very readable and interesting. I enjoyed it. J. Robert Ewbank, author "John Wesley, Natural Man, and the 'Isms'"
