Synopsis

In this coastal New England town, folks take care of the needy—but someone is killing without kindness . . .

Ike Hamilton is a part of the Haven Harbor community just like anyone else, though he's fallen on hard times and has to make do on disability checks and deposit bottles. Most of the locals do what they can to help him out, and needlepointing partners Angie and Sarah are happy to see him at the annual Blessing of the Fleet, honoring all those lost at sea over the centuries.

But when harmless Ike is stabbed, suspicion quickly falls on a troubled teenage boy who's new in town. Angie's convinced that young Leo is innocent—but if he didn't do it, who did? Turns out Ike may have appeared simple-minded, but he knew a few secrets that someone might have murdered him to keep quiet. Angie sets out to trace Ike's bottle-collecting route to find out what he witnessed—and for this killer, there may be no redemption . . .

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the chance to read this book!

This book however was delightful. I......more

Piacevole lettura. All'inizio ero molto curiosa di scoprire il passato di Dave, uno degli amici della protagonista, poi sono stata interessata anche dal tentativo di risolvere l'omicidio, sebbene abbia sospettato subito della persona giusta. Peccato che questo sia il penultimo libro della serie.........more
