Summer People

Ray Elkins Thriller Series

Listen the newest in the Ray Elkins Series: Death in a Summer Colony.

It is late June in Michigan's gold coast resort area. The summer residents are settling in for the season and the tourists are beginning to flood the highways and beaches. But the idyllic vision of a summer at the shore is suddenly shattered by a gangland-style shooting. This murder is quickly followed by the deaths of three more summer residents, each taking place under suspicious circumstances. At times hindered by local politics and the proverbial tension between the summer people and the natives, Sheriff Ray Elkins searches for the possible links between the four victims. As he probes into their tangled lives and dark histories, he finds both the motive and the possible murderer."

Good story

This series is very well written. I really enjoy the story and the locations. Northern Michigan is one of my favorite places. I was made aware of this series by staying in an AirBnb in Traverse City Michigan. I read the second in the series "Color Tour" in the two days I was there. As soon as I got home I started listening to the other books in the series.

Interesting mystery

Although I enjoyed the story, I found it difficult to follow at times as the narrator used the same voice for all the characters. I will probably look for the next in the series and pay more attention as the narrator tells the story.
