Description

Rusty had been absent from the country for over a decade - ever since he was indicted for securities fraud. No one expected him to show up on Nantucket that night. No one, that is, except his killer. Peter Mason, the bog's owner, seems less than moved by his brother's brutal death. The two men had been nursing a decade-old grudge over a woman. Could Peter have killed Rusty, or was Rusty attacked by mistake in the fog - when the killer thought he was Peter

Reviews

Praise for Death in the Off-Season

Wonderful . . . Nantucket and its impenetrable fog and characters come to life.
Diane Mott Davidson

"Death in the Off-Season is a wonderful find . . . Detective Merry Folger comes across as a real person, albeit a smart one, with doubts and concerns."
The Denver Post

"Mathews uses her setting and its unique population skillfully."
The San Diego Union-Tribune

"Spunky but inexperienced, third-generation Nantucket cop Meredith Folger investigates murder in this spare, atmospheric debut."
Publishers Weekly
