Slipknot

Slipknot
by Linda Greenlaw

Non-fiction writer, Linda Greenlaw, has turned her pen to mystery writing with this interesting summer read. Jane Bunker left her old life as a homicide detective in Miami and returned to Maine where she spent her early years. Now she is a marine insurance inspector in Green Haven. As Jane is checking out a fish processing plant for a policy renewal, she sees a group of people clustered around something. The "something" turns out to be the body of Nick Dow, the town drunk. Jane recognizes him as the man who caused a ruckus at the town the meeting the previous evening. The local authorities think that Dow's death was either an accident or suicide. Jane's police instincts say that it was murder and she starts her own investigation. [If you enjoy this, you may also wish to try the works of Paul Dorian and Archer Mayor.] -- recommended by Donna G. - Virtual Services Department
