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.

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.
