From Booklist

Newport, Rhode Island, 1968. A headstrong, adventurous, flirty young woman is dead. Her accused killer, Cody Ewing, maintains his innocence. But his case seems hopeless until Cody's cousin calls up his best friend, private investigator (and Vietnam vet) Mick McCarthy and asks for help. Set against a raucous 1960s backdrop--the famous Newport folk festival had brought sex and drugs to the staid "rich folk" town--the novel puts Mick and his beautiful companion, Bridget, up against gangsters and a particularly nasty killer. The plotting may be a little clumsy in places, and the prose a tad clunky, but the story is also colorful and exciting. Wasley is well versed in the 1960s New England music scene (he was a folksinger and rocker), and he is able to make us feel as though we are in that time and place. Not perfect, but a lot of fun all the same. David Pitt
