Jane Bunker Mystery

review 1: #2 in the Jane Bunker mystery series. This 2008 entry was also apparently the last in the series. Author Greenlaw is known for being the captain of a swordfishing boat she wrote about in "The Hungry Ocean" (1999). The boat was a sister ship to the one immortalized in "The Perfect Storm" of book and movie fame. Her foray into the mystery field was apparently of limited success.Jane Bunker is now a deputy sheriff as well as an insurance investigator. While investigating vandalized instruments, Jane and Cal encounter an unmanned lobster boat going in circles. The aquaculture research vessel searches for and recovers a body where predicted, but the body is not that of the missing lobsterman, whose assets were cleaned out before he disappeared.
review 2: There isn't... more much character development in this short who-dun-it. I had read Linda Greenlaw's version of the story in "Perfect Storm" and "All Fishermen are Liars" and they are better than this. In the Author's Note at the end she talks about how she learned various things in writing this - the impression I have is that this novel was a vehicle for stringing together some things she found interesting but wasn't all that successful as a story.This is the second novel she's done with this character. (I have not read the first.) Perhaps next time she'll think of some good things to do with her hero. less
