Reviews
Praise for Martha's Vineyard Mystery Series: "People are so nice in West Tisbury that even the villains seem less than evil -- more like seriously naughty." -- The New York Times "Riggs, who describes the beauties of her acerbic sleuth's island home as lovingly as ever, provides a...satisfying conclusion." - Kirkus on Bloodroot "There are many levels on which to enjoy Cynthia Riggs's latest mystery....There is the twisting and turning plot of a good murder mystery. And there is prose, beautifully written, by a wonderful writer." -- The Martha's Vineyard Times on Indian Pipes "This smoothly executed, fun read contrasts the beauty of Martha's Vineyard with the drama of the unsolved murders. Readers will adore Victoria, a smart and witty sleuth who's as crafty as she is charismatic." -- RT Book Reviews on Paperwhite Narcissus "Victoria Trumbull is the senior citizen we all pray to become." -- Kingston Observer on Paperwhite Narcissus "The author's artistry is in the unfolding of plot and subplots that wind back on themselves like the bittersweet vine that abounds here...The success of the Victoria Trumbull series, seems to me, is that Ms. Riggs tells her tales with nuance and detail." - Martha's Vineyard Times "Delightful...a cozy that celebrates the springtime beauty of the island as well as its quirky, endearing residents." - Publishers Weekly on Touch-Me-Not "Riggs' character development and her lovely descriptions will have readers longing for both a trip to Martha's Vineyard and the next book in the series." - Booklist on Death and Honesty "Lovely descriptions of the Vineyard in the fall, plenty of suspenseful action and a cast of eccentric supporting characters...help make this another winner." - Publishers Weekly on Indian Pipes "What makes the Riggs series stand out is the age of its practical sleuth, Victoria Trumbull. The redoubtable Victoria is all of ninety-two years old, and yet the decades haven't slowed her by so much as a pace." -- The Strand Magazine, "Readers will adore Victoria, a smart and witty sleuth who's as crafty as she is charismatic." - RT Book Reviews on Paperwhite Narcissus "Delightful... a cozy that celebrates the springtime beauty of the island as well as its quirky, endearing residents." - Publishers Weekly on Touch-Me-Not "Riggs' character development and her lovely descriptions will have readers longing for both a trip to Martha's Vineyard and the next book in the series." - Booklist on Death and Honesty, Praise for Martha's Vineyard Mystery Series: "Satisfying...

Synopsis
When 92-year-old poet/sleuth Victoria Trumbull takes her city-bred tenant Zack Zeller on a nature walk on one of Martha's Vineyard's conservation areas and shows him a mushroom she calls black trumpet of death, he's sure he's found the way to rid himself of his troublesome girlfriend, Samantha. But the mushrooms he's given Samantha end up on her daddy's dinner table, and Zack, one of the invited guests, is sure he's doomed the diners to an untimely death. Meanwhile, dead bodies are cropping up on the Island. The police have questions about the identity of the culprit and call upon Victoria Trumbull, who knows the Island and its inhabitants intimately. Will she be able to find the truth and clear the name of someone close to her before the murderer finds its next victim? In addition to giving us more of the eccentric cast of characters and quirky plot we love, Trumpet of Death , the 13th book in Cynthia Riggs' Martha's Vineyard mystery series, describes in loving detail little-known parts of the Island that visitors seldom see.

- n***o (475)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseGreat seller! Excellent communication (very intentional responses)! Fast Shipping! Great value! Excellent deals (buy 2 get 1 FREE)! Good Quality & also Acceptable condition. My only constructive feedback is that the books should be shipped a little safer/more securely. 2 of the 3 books were quite beat-up (one had 2 pages falling off), so, I feel their condition would have benefited from better/safer package (perhaps use a cardboard?). But overall, excellent experience. I recommend this store.
