Death in a Mood Indigo

By: Francine Mathews

Narrated by: Madeleine Maby

The third book in the recently revamped Nantucket mystery series.

When two children make a grisly discovery on Sconset beach, Detective Meredith Folger finds herself with a perplexing case on her hands. The crime lab can tell her only that the newly unearthed skeletal remains belonged to a woman who was strangled to death somewhere between two and 10 years ago - a conclusion that sends Merry sifting through old missing-persons files.

But then a shocking piece of news changes everything. The Massachusetts police have arrested a man they believe to be a serial killer. His five known victims were all women - all strangled. Is Merry's Nantucket skeleton the killer's final victim? And do the state cops have the right man?

When the murderer strikes again, he'll draw Merry into a deadly cat-and-mouse game in which she's the final target.

Didn't seem as good as the first ones

The ending seemed rushed, like there was a deadline for getting the book finished. The murderer's motive, means and opportunity was never really fleshed out to my satisfaction. Seems like space in the book was taken up with other things, instead of that.
