About this title

Synopsis:

During the prime tourist season in the seaside village of Dovekey Beach, visitors to the beach are slowly disappearing,and it is up to Elizabeth Will to solve the mystery and find the killer out to destroy the town's tourist industry by eliminating its tourists.

From Kirkus Reviews:

A serial killer in New Hampshire's peaceful Dovekey Beach? Well, at least a serial mischief-maker who doesn't mind the occasional unnatural death.The toll includes a suspicious boat engine fire, a shark sighting, a timber rattler lazing far from its natural habitat, a beachful of yucky medical waste, two deaths from anaphylactic shock, and two other less-fatal poisonings. Watercolorist Elizabeth Will, fresh from saving her cantankerous father from a murder rap (Murder Will Out, 1994), takes her usual laid-back approach to schmoozing-cum-detection-- with the main attraction this time her returning childhood friend Martha Drake and Martha's maddeningly dishy husband Eamon Robson- -and the result is as evanescent as a summer breeze. The nonstop gossip is appropriately lightweight but lethal, the transparent murder plot just plain silly. -- Copyright ©1996, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.
