Martha’s Vineyard

I really enjoy this Martha’s Vineyard murder mystery series. The novels are well-crafted and move at a good pace. This one is the second in the series and I appreciate Ms. Ray sending it to me and Author Marketing Experts inviting me to be on the blog tour.

The first book in this series, Widow’s Walk, was a great read as well, and readers should know that these titles can be read as stand-alones. I should add that I really like the female protagonist in these stories, Kyra Gibson. I’m always a fan of mysteries with plucky women at the helm!

Here’s the scoop:

London based lawyer Kyra Gibson returns to Martha’s Vineyard and the beach house she inherited for an extended summer holiday. Still reeling from her father’s brutal murder and the role she and the handsome detective, Tarek Collins played in uncovering it, Kyra is hopeful for some peace and quiet. But when a summer squall reveals the wreckage of the pirate ship, Keres, rich with rumored treasure, all hopes of peace are dashed. Conservationists and treasure hunters descend on the exclusive island to lay claim to the ship. When two of the salvagers are killed, Kyra and Tarek’s friend, pub owner and amateur historian, Gully Gould is arrested for murder.

Determined to prove Gully’s innocence, Kyra, Tarek, and reformed playboy Chase Hawthorn team up to clear their friend’s name. But someone wants the treasure for themselves. And with someone willing to kill for it, there is more than just danger lurking along the island’s caves and coves. There is death.

I love a good mysetery that takes place near where I live, so I was happy to read and take part in the tour for this new novel by Raemi A. Ray that takes place in Martha’s Vineyard. It was interesting, suspenseful, and well-plotted. I read it in two days as I couldn’t put it down!

Here’s the scoop:

The last thing she wants is to dig up the past…

When the body of a celebrated journalist is fished from the Edgartown Harbor, the official report rules his death accidental. But why was he alone on a senator’s yacht during a nor’easter? That’s only the first question London-based lawyer Kyra Gibson has when she arrives on the idyllic island of Martha’s Vineyard to settle her estranged father’s affairs.

She’s not looking for closure. She’s not seen him in decades since he left her with her aunt following her mother’s death. But as Kyra delves deeper into her father’s life, she learns he had many regrets and wasn’t as retired as she believed. The more Kyra discovers, the more questions she has. With the help of world-weary detective, Tarek Collins, they uncover a web of intrigue and corruption involving a powerful senator, a dubious energy company, and brutal murder.

As they chase down clues, Kyra and Tarek flirt with danger and race against time to solve the murders and uncover the dark secrets lurking beneath Martha’s Vineyard’s picturesque façade of old money wealth and privilege.

This book is the first of a new series with two more titles scheduled to come out in 2024!
