The author from the 87th precinct Novels now has a stand-alone mystery about a man who returns to Martha’s Vineyard a year after his wife is said to have drowned accidentally. He is now wanting to prove that she was murdered. A very good book by a good author and I have enjoyed some of the 87th novels, I found them to be a good read.

Zachary Blake takes his young daughter on a trip to Martha's Vineyard, in hopes that he can find out the truth about the drowning of his wife the year before. As Blake digs deeper into the mystery, he begins to realize that the drowning wasn't as accidental as he was led to believe. Will he be able to find out the truth about what happened to his wife before he or someone else gets hurt?

I really enjoyed this novel by Ed McBain. I couldn't put it down once I started and it had me on the edge of my seat throughout the entire novel.
