CYNTHIA RIGGS

The Cemetery Yew (Martha's Vineyard Mysteries)

St. Martin's Minotaur 2003 Hardcover, 208pp. "Gravediggers were supposed to disinter the Norton girl's coffin for reburial in Milwaukee. But the grave under the yew tree is empty. Victoria Trumbull, ninety-two-year-old poet/sleuth, locates the coffin only to have it mysteriously disappear again. One after another, people who seemed overly concerned about the coffin vanish, later to be found brutally murdered. Action ranges from the deceptively quiet village of West Tisbury to Martha's Vineyard's rugged North Shore to the Vineyard Haven ferry dock and a rousing welcome for the victorious high school football team. As Victoria closes in on the killer, she realizes she may know too much about the yew tree and its potential to cure-or kill. ex lib", (ISBN: 0312321260). Very Good.

The Paperwhite Narcissus

St. Martin's Minotaur 2005 Hardcover, 256pp. "In this fifth book in the Victoria Trumbull series, the ninety-two-year-old sleuth finds herself embroiled in a series of murders after she is fired from her job as West Tisbury correspondent for The Island Enquirer (the editor claims the newspaper needs a younger look). Victoria, determined to show that age is no barrier to news papering, immediately throws her weight behind The Grackle, intent on turning the two-page West Tisbury newsletter into a formidable competitor of the Enquirer. And it looks as though she will.In the meantime, the Enquirer's narcissistic editor has been receiving a series of obituaries, each naming him as the deceased. He would dismiss them as a sick joke, but the obituaries follow the actual deaths of people close to him. Rather than going to the police, he grudgingly rehires Victoria to uncover the identity of the obituary writer. Victoria knows almost everybody on the Island, and she may be the only person who can solve the mystery before the editor needs a genuine obituary of his own.In The Paperwhite Narcissus, as in the four previous books in the series, Cynthia Riggs explores the rich and varied setting of Martha's Vineyard in a way that only a native Islander can. The story glides from Wasque, the desolate southeast corner of Chappaquiddick, to the Coast Guard boat ramp in Menemsha; from the elegantly maintained Captains' houses in Edgartown to the wild Atlantic Ocean beach at Quansoo. A delightfully cozy read, steeped in rich characters and a sense of place, this latest Victoria Trumbull mystery is sure to charm long-time fans and first-time readers. ex library", (ISBN: 9780312339838). Good.
