This has a compelling start and continues at a good pace. With some nice twists and humor, it also includes intelligent writing. If this garners enough attention, it should sell well. Recommended.

Thanks very much for the review copy!!

It takes some careful navigation to get through this story as the author sets several traps in the waters off the coast of Maine. The story revolves around brothers Harry and Tim, but many more characters, plots and sub-plots are added. Murder and suicide are major components, but the decadence of the upper crust is key.

I genuinely cannot remember the last time that I was so floored by a book. I could not put this novel down. It is so smart, so well-plotted and the characters just jump off the page. Everyone has a motive, and they are all plausible. This is a realistic portrait of a world that really existed very under-the-radar. The literary and mythological references are so smart and so precisely used. I can only imagine the amount of research and planning that went into writing this masterpiece. It will forever be on my shelf, and I cannot wait to recommend it to everyone I know. Please, read this book. It is phenomenal.
