Though he loves his wife and kids, retired Boston cop J.W. Jackson looks forward to some quiet time at home in West Tisbury on Martha's Vineyard. However his spouse's friend, realtor Carole Cohen, begs J.W. to help her brother. Apparently, someone is harassing Roland "the Monk" Nunes, a Vietnam vet who owns choice property where he lives by himself. Carole believes this unknown adversary wants to frighten Roland into selling his land cheaply.
J.W. agrees to investigate. As he looks at the motive Carole provided to him, J.W. wonders if a cousin or the neighbor and her financier fianc are behind the threats. However, his inquiry takes a nastier turn when murder raises the stakes.
The latest Martha's Vineyard Mystery is a fresh investigative tale that spins into a murder case. J.W. is at his best as the clues point towards suspects who know the reclusive Monk and include the person who "hired" him. The homicide spin is a terrific twist that affirms how good Philip R. Craig is as a writer. Fans of the series already know that; newcomers will be searching the dunes for previous Jackson thrillers.
