1.0 out of 5 stars Self-Indulgence, Anyone?, September 27, 2007
By 
J. RANDALL (Long Island, NY USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I've enjoyed the earlier books in this series, but this one sounds as if the author was plum out of fresh ideas and dug up Victor, Jemmy et. al. as well as reprising undigested lumps of Jake Tiptree's past history. The book rambles on and on, trying to write cute but not succeeding, and getting nowhere. Some tired plot elements (mob hit man, mystery book etc.) and old Maine caricatures only make things worse.

It's annoying because the author can do much better. Maybe she just needs a sabbatical.

4.0 out of 5 stars Darker than the rest -- new direction ?, May 18, 2009
I picked up this mystery series early on and am slowly making my way through all of them. This particular book felt like a shift in direction to me.

In this book, Jacobia "Jake" Tiptree is continuing to work on her Eastport, Maine home as it manages to deconstruct as quickly as she can fix it. Her buddy Ellie (with baby in tow) is right there with her in the home repair adventures as well as the mystery that arrives in the form of Cory Trow's dead body. Cory is a young man who is seeing the daughter of a professional hit man. Trouble ensues when the hit man decides Cory isn't good enough for his "princess" and wants the boy to go away. Many of the usually Eastport folks are around and the east coast setting continues to play a big part.

The mystery seemed to be more graphic and gory this time with more mob undertones that made it less "cozy" than previous ones. In addition, the substance abuse problems of Sam are featured more heavily and more realistically than before with a raw edge that I am not use to seeing in this genre -- not bad, just different. There are two subplots that are thrown in and left unresolved which are a red flag that there are more books to come.

As a fan of this series, I enjoyed the book but noticed the differences. If you have not read these before, I would suggest starting at the beginning and moving through them since the characters develop over time and it would be a more enjoyable read with the additional background.

5.0 out of 5 stars Trap Door by Sarah Graves, June 27, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This is another episode in the lives of Ms. Graves characters in Eastport, Maine. I found myself giggling over some of Jacobia Triptree's actions and reactions in this book. The mystery in this story had me not wanting to stop reading and when I did, wondering what would happen next. It is a very good read. I would recommend reading the series of books in order because the characters develop and progress in their lives through each book.
