Jam-packed with humor

Reviewed by Kam Aures for Rebeccasreads.com (08/09) "A Deadly Vineyard" is Book 7 of the Mitch and Al series of books written by Glenn Ickler. In this newest installment, Mitch, a newspaper reporter, goes with Al, a photographer, Dave, a cartoonist, and their wives, to Martha's Vineyard on vacation. However, it soon turns into a working vacation when they arrive at Dave's Uncle Walt's Victorian cottage only to find that Walt is missing. Walt, a writer, had just interviewed a treasure hunter named Wade Waters. Shortly after the interview, Waters was found dead in Nantucket Sound. The autopsy results show that Waters death was a homicide and the search is on for the murderer. Waters' treasure chart which shows the location of a sunken ship has also gone missing. Mitch, Al, and Dave get completely drawn into the story. People looking for the chart assume that they know where it is and Mitch's cat is even kidnapped and held for ransom. In the book it is stated that in one of Ickler's previous novels Mitch had a harrowing experience in Martha's Vineyard, and this visit will prove to be no different! So much for a vacation! "A Deadly Vineyard" is the second of the Mitch and Al books that I have read, the other one being "Out at Home (Book 6)." As with the previous book, "A Deadly Vineyard" works very well as a stand alone novel and you won't be lost if you read this one before any of his others. However, after "meeting" Mitch and Al, you most likely will want to go back and read more stories involving them. They are quite the characters and trust me when I say there is never a dull moment! Ickler's newest novel is jam-packed with humor, including a very interesting scene at a nude beach. Once you start reading you will be hooked and not want to put it down. I recommend "A Deadly Vineyard" to anyone who enjoys humorous mysteries. You will love Mitch and Al!
