From Library Journal
Martha's Vineyard again makes an evocative setting for ex-cop J.W. Jackson ( The Woman Who Walked into the Sea , LJ 1/91) and his chance encounters with local crime. Hired as temporary security, Jackson and cohorts unknowingly watch over the classic "jewels-stolen-from-the-locked-room" scenario when a fabulous emerald necklace slated for return to the wicked ruler of Sarofim disappears. As Jackson looks for the emeralds, he uncovers kidnappers, an apparent suicide, and an anti-Sarofim revolutionary movement. A delight to read, with plenty of action and beautiful surroundings.

From Kirkus Reviews
The third outing (A Beautiful Place to Die, The Woman Who Walked into the Sea) for Martha's Vineyard fisherman Jeff ``J.W.'' Jackson, a former Boston cop now busy full-time proposing to pretty nurse Zee Madieras and wolfing down homemade bluefish pƒte. But the idyll is interrupted when Zee is kidnapped, the courtly Willard Blunt dies a possible suicide, and the famous emerald necklace that Zee's aunt Amelia was returning to the Padishah of Sarofim--after decades of illegal ownership--disappears. Who took it? Did they also take Zee? And are rebellious Sarofim students trying to embarrass the crass, inhumane Padishah? Could there be a connection to the package Amelia blithely had posted to Sarofim nationalist Professor Hamdi Safuat? As this soap-operetta plot unwinds, there are bonito to catch, recipes to share, and a rescue to be effected by a local NRA advocate, whose target practice pays off. Genial banter, but silly clues and a necklace switch that would have been stale even back in Christie's heyday. Some droll humor, though, for Vineyard fans. -- Copyright ©1992, Kirkus Associates, LP.
