Synopsis

As she proved in The Hungry Ocean, no one knows the sea like Linda Greenlaw. And as she proved in The Lobster Chronicles, no one spins better tales of Maine village life. Slipknot is the first installment in Greenlaw’s mystery series features everything readers want: a great setting, wonderful characters, an authentic and original detective—and a story that will keep them on the edge of their seats. When Jane moves back to Green Haven, the sleepy Maine fishing community where she was born, it's to escape the seamy crime scenes and unsavory characters that crossed her path in Miami. Surely whatever crimes are committed in touristy, idyllic down-east Maine won’t involve anything as nasty as what she saw in Florida. It's a bit of a shock, then, when Nick Dow, the town drunk, turns up dead, and it's not the simple accident that everyone assumes it to be. The more Jane digs, the more confused she gets. Only two things are certain: Nothing is what it seems; and the whole town is in each other's business. But it's not until Jane impulsively hops on a boat with the killer—a boat that suddenly heads out to sea—that things become downright dangerous. . .

Goodreads review by Beryl on August 28, 2015

The descriptions were over-the-top and dialogues were unnatural. People don't talk that way! I thought the writi......more

Goodreads review by Goose on October 05, 2008

As far as I know, this is Linda Greenlaw's maiden voyage into published fiction. It's a bit of a turbulent ride. Though Greenlaw has created a good main character in Jane Bunker and surrounded her with interesting types such as the nosy landlords, the handsomely rugged much older man, and the psuedo......more

Goodreads review by Suzanne on August 29, 2018

Meh. I really wanted to love this novel so I could have a new series, and one that takes place in Maine, to look forward to. As much as I love Linda Greenlaw, I just couldn't connect with her hyper-frugal main character and the extremely weird cast of characters she was introducing me to. I definite......more

Goodreads review by Vanessa on July 05, 2017

Another book I picked up as light reading over the Christmas break. Linda Greenlaw is the lady boat captain that figured prominently in The Perfect Storm (if you saw the movie, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio played her.) I believe this is her first fiction book. And, sorry, it shows. There are likable......more

Goodreads review by Elizabeth on February 05, 2014

The author of this book, being a survivor of the story that became "a Perfect Storm" certainly shows off her knowledge of ships during the life threatening episode in this book. But that was the most plausible part of this whole book. I did not believe most of the rest of it, not the body discovery,......more
