Publisher's summary

A Boston lawyer investigates a prep school teacher's suspicious suicide in this debut for "one of the most likeable sleuths to appear on the crime scene" (The Washington Post Book World).

Brady Coyne never meant to become the private lawyer to New England's upper crust, but after more than a decade working for Florence Gresham and her friends, he has developed a reputation for discretion that the rich cannot resist. He is fond of Mrs. Gresham - unflappable, uncouth, and never tardy with a check - and he has seen her through her husband's suicide and her first son's death in Vietnam. But he has never seen her crack until the day her second son, George, leaps into the sea at jagged Charity's Point.

The authorities call it a suicide, but Mrs. Gresham cannot believe her son, like his father, would take his own life. As Brady digs into the apparently blemish-free past of this upper-class prep school history teacher, he finds dark secrets. George Gresham may not have been suicidal, but that doesn't mean he wasn't in trouble.

Excellent

I haven't finished it but it is a breath of fresh air to have a book I am eager to return to listen to on the journey to and from work. Good narrator, good dialog and story so far.

I had a notation from a couple of years ago that I liked this author and I see why I made the note. Trust me, I don't like a lot of what I listen to. I had to use 1.4 speed with the last book I read from an author that I used to like just to get through it. Happy this book is a pleasure to read.
