and humor about all-too-human characters with whom readers can readily identify."
Publishers Weekly

"Readers who appreciate Riggs' incorporation of the flora and fauna of Martha's Vineyard
into her stories will be pleased that this tale also features evocative descriptions of island
plants and birds. This pleasant trip back in time will give Victoria's fans a better appreciation
of the notable nonagenarian."Booklist

In Deadly Night Shade, Cynthia Riggs introduced Victoria Trumbull, one of the most
energetic amateur sleuths on record, notwithstanding her ninety-two-yearsor possibly
because of them. Now, Cynthia Riggs gives us the story of her first case and how she
came to be a police deputy.

A little island town is the scene of a conflict between two men of God: the outgoing minister
of the local church and his successor, each known as Jack. But Victoria is concerned with
a series of unexpected deaths, which turn out to be the result of anonymous food packages
left on people's doorsteps. Victoria's get-up-and-go attitude, her courage, and her exhaustive
knowledge of Martha's Vineyard and its people once again help her to discover the truth
behind the mystery.
