About this listen

Family ties draw Boston's art sleuths into an island murder mystery in this "unalloyed pleasure" from the internationally best-selling author (Publishers Weekly).

Though a few years past 60, Sarah Kelling's aunt Emma is as vigorous as a girl of 22. She sings, she dances, and when the local fire department needs a fundraising boost, she's happy to jump out a window for charity. This summer, she decamps to Maine, to beat the heat at an island retreat for artists and great thinkers. There are writers, painters, a psychic, and a historian, and their company promises to be great fun - until a few of them go treasure-crazy. Sensible people have long dismissed rumors of the Pocapuk Island treasure as myth, but artists are seldom sensible. When their rampant digging stirs up buried trouble, it leads to theft, drugging, and a murder. And although Sarah and her husband, Max, give investigative advice by phone, it's up to Aunt Emma to save the islanders from themselves.

A variation on the detectives

This was a fun mystery. Instead of Sarah Kelling and Max Bittersohn, though, the detective is Aunt Emma Kelling.
A very enjoyable and twisty mystery on a remote island off the coast of Maine.
The narrator did a pretty good job of adding a little touch of Maine accent.

Julie Mulhern does it again!!

This series is a favorite - I was first drawn in because I grew up near KC but was quickly attached to the characters. ! I love seeing them evolve and adding new family members make it all the more fun. Already excited about the next installment
