Product Description:
Do-it-yourself killer fixes small-town thug...
For ex-Wall Streeter Jacobia Tiptree and her teenaged son, Sam, September promises tranquil days winter-proofing their rambling handyman's special of a home in Eastport, Maine. But there's nothing idyllic about this Down East autumn. For starters, the return of truly vicious native son Reuben Tate stirs up the town. And when somebody slits Reuben's throat and hangs his corpse on the cemetery gate, the police trace a bloodied scalpel to surgeon Victor Tiptree—Jacobia's former husband. Yet Jake knows her troublesome, trouble-prone ex is capable of just about anything except murder. Proving that, though, is another matter.
Eastport is packed with tourists and former residents for the annual Salmon Festival—and Jake soon realizes any Eastporter, past or present, has motive for Tate's murder. To nail the real killer, Jake and her best friend, Ellie White, must probe a past as rotten as crumbling clapboard, while a secret hatred builds toward a series of murders even more brutal than Reuben Tate himself....

I live in the area that is described in the Eastport mysteries -work in Lubec, sing in Eastport, travel the roads, frequent the restaurants, and sometimes think I recognize elements of Grave's characters in my neighbors. This is a great but disturbing read. Great, because this author writes a good mystery with relevant characters and she is a skilled story teller. Disturbing because of the reality that the themes in this book have for me as a counselor in this area.

I enjoyed this book. It is the first one in this series that I have read. I plan to read the 2 previous books now as well.
I enjoyed the characters. Jacobia is a smart amateur sleuth. She and Ellie are a great team for investigating. She is a newcomer to the area but was knowledgeable about the area and with Ellie's help got the locals to talk to her.
Her exhusband is an unlikeable fellow and I was glad he wasn't too involved in the story.
I would like to see ... Read More

. . .you'll know that something wicked this way comes, when you pick up this delicious book! Third in the Mainely Murder Mysteries, Sarah Graves just swoops you right into her world of Eastport Maine and doesn't let you go until she's good and ready.
Wicked here is personified by Reuben Tate, a native Eastporter who's come back to visit for the annual Salmon Festival. Or, maybe just to make trouble, at which he specializes with a capital S and a capital T, as well. Actually, he doesn't really ... Read More

Jacobia Tiptree gives up Wall Street to move to a small Maine town in order to remove her teenaged son from the less-than-desirable influences. She buys a fixer-it-upper that never seems to be fixed up. When a vicious ex-resident returns, the townspeople are none too happy about it. When he is found dead, the evidence seems to point to Jacobia's ex-husband. While she doesn't exactly wish him well, she knows that he's not capable of cold-blooded murder. In order to prove that, she has to discover who ... Read More
