Found this book confusing,disjointed,not easy to follow storyline or characters.Probably will not read other books in series

This was a Christmas gift. The young girl wears it and said she likes it.

This is the most ridiculous, over-blown mystery I have ever read. David Osborne has missed his calling - he should be writing heaving bosom fiction for the supermarket racks. Calm down, David. Try for a little logic in your plot. Nothing in this book is believable except for the descriptions of the Vineyard.

I polished off this mystery in the course of one rainy afternoon -- not because it wasn't good, but because it was suitably intriguing. I like Margaret Barlow, the protagonist and Jessica-Fletcher-like widow who's trying to figure out exactly what is happening on her island home. The plot was intricate enough that I couldn't identify the "villain" until just before the climax, and that's the mark of a good mystery. I look forward to reading Osborn's two sequels to this book.
