Martha's Vineyard Mystery

review 1: Who wouldn't be enchanted with Victoria Trumbull? She is 92 years old, she is a deputy in the West Tisbury Police Department on Martha's Vineyard, and she is sharp as a tack. Victoria knows just about everyone in town and remembers all of the skeltons in their family closets. In this third in the series, an empty coffin is discovered in the West Tisbury Cemetery and then a series of baffling murders begin to occur in and around town. The strange thing is that all of the victims are retired foreign service officers. Victoria may not be able to get around like she used to, but she's able to figure out what's going on in this little caper. I need to dig up the first two books in this series. A very pleasant read for a rainy afternoon.
review 2: You've got to... more love a 92 year old, spunky, smart sleuth with a dry sense of humor. I really like the setting (Martha's Vineyard) and the recurring characters. I guessed the perp in the first couple of pages, but Rigg's writing style kept me reading long past the time I should have gotten ready for work this morning. The only thing that could have been improved was the way Riggs wrote the teen characters--no teenager I know has such terrible grammar or uses "like" quite so much. less
