Ohio teacher Sabrina Dunsweeney was expecting a month of rest and
relaxation on Comico Island in this entertaining first of a new
series from Mills (Death of a Mermaid), but instead finds herself
caught between two feuding families, the Tittletots, who own most
of the isolated, vaguely Southern island, and the Wrightlys. Years
earlier, Rolo Wrightly was accused of stealing a neighbor's silver
and then setting her house afire. Rolo disappeared in the middle of
the night and, with the exception of occasional letters to his
mother, was never heard from again. Now, Rolo reappears on the
island-and shortly after striking up an acquaintance with Sabrina,
he's murdered. Unimpressed by the island's police force, Sabrina
elects to do a little sleuthing herself. After unmasking the killer
(quite literally on Halloween), Sabrina decides to stay on at
Comico, a choice that, while unsurprising, will leave readers
eagerly anticipating another Comico adventure. (Jan.)
