This review is from: Death In The Off-Season (Audio Cassette)

The scion of Nantucket's oldest and wealthiest family is found dead one foggy night in a cranberry bog. But what brought Rusty Mason home in the first place? Ten years earlier he'd fled an indictment for securities fraud and was never seen again -- until now. In her first case, Merry Folger soon discovers that Rusty's made his share of enemies -- most of them in his own family. Now she must undo a decade-old tangle of betrayal, blackmail, and violence. Death In The Off-Season showcases Francine Mathews' talent for creating a gripping mystery that reaches out to seize the attention of her readers and just won't let go until the story is brought to its surprising climax. This complete and unabridged audiobook edition is superbly narrated by the vocal talents of Bernadette Dunne, and presents a flawlessly recorded, highly recommended "theatre of the mind" experience for anyone who loves a well told "whodunit".
