The Paperwhite Narcissus (Victoria Trumbull Series #5)

Cynthia Riggs draws from a lifetime’s intimacy with fabled Martha’s Vineyard and its people to create an irresistible series filled with murder and special atmosphere.

A small town, even one detached from the mainland, has its share of unpleasant residents. When a developer with an unhappy wife, a bullish attitude toward women, and a much frowned upon plan is murdered, not many tears are shed. The case naturally falls to Victoria Trumbull, the ninety-two-year-old sharp-witted sheriff’s deputy. Served by her in-depth knowledge of the island and her indomitable drive, Victoria is on the trail again, bunions, lilac-bough cane, and all.
