STRAND MAGAZINE BEST MYSTERY NOVELS OF 2017 Praise for Death on Nantucket "What a treat to have a new addition to one of my very favorite series! Francine Mathews''s prose is elegant, her heroine appealing, her setting vivid, and her characters shine. For mystery lovers, the Merry Folger books hit every note." --Deborah Crombie, New York Times bestselling author of Garden of Lamentations "Such a wonderful evocation of the island--breathtaking, quaint and sinister. Bravo, Francine Mathews." --Cara Black, New York Times bestselling author of the Aimée Leduc mysteries "An exceptionally smart mystery about long-buried family secrets . . . A literary vacation I couldn''t bear to see end." --Carla Buckley, author of The Good Goodbye " Death on Nantucket expertly balances an increasingly suspenseful mystery plot set within an imploding family, with the personal and professional challenges that pile up on Merry''s shoulders during one of the most intense periods of the year on the island. The sense of place in the novel is very strong, those who know Nantucket and those who dream of visiting it someday will love the armchair travel aspect of the story." --CT News "The story is lovely and atmospheric, with a sinister crime to solve." -- Suspense Magazine "If you like Anne Cleeves'' Shetland novels, you''ll love Death on Nantucket by Francine Mathews. [An] accomplished traditional mystery." --Milwaukee Journal Sentinel "It''s been 19 years since the last Merry Folger mystery, but the island detective returns in fine fettle here." --Seattle Review of Books "Mathews takes readers on a holiday tour with an ocean view, complete with a murder mystery as twisted as the emotions that family can evoke." --Publishers Weekly "[A] twisty tale of family relationships gone bad." --Kirkus Reviews "A complex mystery involving secrets, a dysfunctional family, and Folger''s own insecurities." --Library Journal "This fifth in the Folger series and the first since 1998''s Death in a Cold Hard Light gives the resourceful cop plenty to deal with--not just the murder case, but also the busy Fourth of July holiday, a new and antagonistic boss, and her own impending wedding. It''s nice to see Folger back in action after a too-long hiatus." --Booklist "A smoothly written, tightly plotted detective novel based on one of the classic mystery tropes: the death of a wealthy head of the family, with a circle of possible beneficiaries in the house. This is a great traditional mystery." --Kingdom Books "The pages just keep turning until you find out who did it and why." --Gumshoe Review "Mathews has a keen eye for family relationships and the damage that poor parenting can do, as well as for the moments that can save a relationship and keep it going. The characters are well-developed...The story is complex, well-plotted, and believable. This is the fifth Merry Folger mystery and a good one it is." --ReviewingTheEvidence.com Praise for the Merry Folger Nantucket mysteries "Wonderful . . . Nantucket and its impenetrable fog and characters come to life." --Diane Mott Davidson "Mathews uses her setting and its unique population skillfully." -- The San Diego Union-Tribune "Mathews is a story teller, and she has a fine sense of time and place. Her descriptions of Nantucket make you taste the salt air, and the drawl of the long-time residents puts you on the island." -- The Denver Post "Mathews brings the landscape of Nantucket to life in all its sights, sounds, and smells. She also brings in many fascinating facts about the island. Merry Folger is a strong, intelligent main character." --Kittling Books

Synopsis
Francine Mathews' no-nonsense Nantucket police detective, Merry Folger, is back on the case after nineteen years. Death on Nantucket , the fifth Merry Folger Mystery, is full of regional charm, a strong sense of local history, and foggy New England Island atmosphere. Spencer Murphy is a national treasure. A famous Vietnam War correspondent who escaped captivity in Southeast Asia, he made a fortune off of his books and television appearances. But Spence is growing forgetful with age; he's started to wander and even fails to come home one night. When a body is discovered at Step Above, the sprawling Murphy house near Steps Beach, Nantucket police detective Meredith Folger is called in to investigate. The timing couldn't be worse: It's the Fourth of July, and tourists are arriving in droves to celebrate on Nantucket's beaches, so the police force is spread thin. On top of that Merry is planning her wedding to cranberry farmer Peter Mason, and her new boss, an ex-Chicago police chief with an aggressive management strategy, seems to be trying to force her to quit. Merry can't conclude the Murphy investigation quickly enough for him. As she grapples with a family of unreliable storytellers--some incapable of recalling the past, and others determined that it never be known--she suspects that the truth may be forever out of reach, trapped in the failing brain of a man whose whole life may be a lie., Spencer Murphy is a national treasure. A famous war correspondent, he made a fortune off of his books and television appearances. But Spence is growing forgetful with age. When a body is discovered at the sprawling Murphy, Nantucket police detective Meredith Folger is called in to investigate. Merry is inclined to call the death a tragic accident - until another member of the Murphy clan comes to a brutal end. As Merry grapples with a family of unreliable storytellers she suspects that the truth may be out of reach, trapped in the failing brain of a man whose whole life may be a lie., The real Nantucket hasn't witnessed a murder in decades. But so what? It could. And in the realm of the imagination where Francine Mathews and Merry Folger meet, it usually does
