Summary: Double Murder on the Maine Coast
Review: Summer in Maine with all the delights of coastal living, spiced up by two murders involving visitors, artists, and native Mainers who worry about the invasion of people from "away." Humor, action, and well rounded characters add to the reading pleasure.

Summary: Six pages, seven characters and one dog - start taking notes
Review: The beginning of the book literally gave me a headache. In six pages, you are introduced to no less than seven characters (and a dog) with very little background. Sort of like walking into a room of strangers, being given their names over the course of a few minutes and later asked to remember who they are.

The book finally levels out and turns out to be a decent mystery, but the rocky start stayed with me.
