About this listen

 Martha's 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 doesn't quite belong: a scream followed by a splash and a sound of a car speeding away. She investigates and discovers a body on the outgoing tide.

Despite interruptions from her granddaughter Elizabeth, the harbormaster Domingo, a swarm of Island locals, and a few mysterious visitors, Victoria manages to get in a good bit of detective work and still finds time to cook her traditional Saturday night supper of Boston baked beans. She even concocts a scheme to trap the killer. But she'll need to act quickly, victim number two has already been found.

"Wonderful....Here's hoping that Victoria Trumbull is solving crimes for many years to come." (Booklist)
"Victoria's mordant wit and easy cleverness add to this vastly entertaining debut series." (Library Journal)

I thought this went on tooo long. I persevered but I won't be reading the rest of the series. One reason was I wondered why that man was calling the elderly lady ' sweet hart' all the time bldy annoying, and the aggressive talk on 0ccasion by a few characters was also unnecessary bullying, story was convoluted. Did not care about the accents except for the New Zealand guy but they always get Aust. and New Zealand wrong .

parts were good..
