โFeisty, fiercely independent nonagenarian poet Victoria Trumbull makes a welcome debutโฆEveryone should have such a terrific grandmother.โโPublishers Weekly โPoet-detective Victoria Trumbull [is] an unforgettable character. Her intelligence, insight, courage and zest give us someone to keep in our hearts.โโSena Jeter Naslund, author of Ahabโs Wife. Marthaโs Vineyard has been home to Victoria Trumbull for most of her 92 years. Its magic, history, and picture- perfect calm are part of her very being. But one evening, Victoria hears something that doesnโt quite belongโa scream followed by a splash and the sound of a car speeding away. That night, a mutilated body is discovered on the outgoing tide. With her granddaughter Elizabeth, Domingo the harbormaster, a swarm of Island locals, and a few mysterious visitors, Victoria manages to get in a good bit of detective workโ while still finding time to cook her traditional Saturday night supper of Boston baked beans. She even concocts a scheme to trap the killer, but sheโll need to act quicklyโ victim number two has just been found. โWonderful โฆHereโs hoping that Victoria Trumbull is solving crimes for many years to come.โโBooklist
