Editorial Review of The Down-East Murders (Sarah Deane Mysteries)


Working on the Godding Museum's annual local artist show is the perfect way for English teacher Sarah Deane to earn a few dollars, relax in the sun and sea air of coastal Maine, and spend the summer with her boyfriend, Dr. Alex McKenzie.
But when Sarah and Alex discover the body of Nate Harwood, a cranky local artist, caught in an offshore fish trap, they know they'll have no vacation from amateur detecting until they catch his killer.
Could his death be related to the "accidental" drowning of two elderly tourists shortly after they had brought a painting from Prior's Gallery? Is one of the contestants in the museum show willing to go to any lengths to win? Or does someone have strong feelings against seascapes?

Sarah and Alax canvass Weymouth Island trying to draw a clearer picture of the killer lurking among them--before they find the next victim.

Review Summary: Six pages, seven characters and one dog - start taking notes
Review: The beginning of the book literally gave me a headache. In six pages, you are introduced to no less than seven characters (and a dog) with very little background. Sort of like walking into a room of strangers, being given their names over the course of a few minutes and later asked to remember who they are.

The book finally levels out and turns out to be a decent mystery, but the rocky start stayed with me.

Review Summary: Double Murder on the Maine Coast
Review: Summer in Maine with all the delights of coastal living, spiced up by two murders involving visitors, artists, and native Mainers who worry about the invasion of people from "away." Humor, action, and well rounded characters add to the reading pleasure.
