It's Murder: On Hat Island: A Gedney Island Mystery Featuring Lily Martian

Gedney Island, a small piece of land located in the midst of Port Gardner Bay and no larger than one-half mile wide and four miles in perimeter is a summer retreat for many people owning property there. For such a small island, it is surprising that it could harbor such interesting tidbits of history. It would seem innocuous anything dark and evil could or would occur in this perfect island getaway, but it does and has a century earlier. Meet Lily Martian. As a young girl, Lily vacationed on Gedney Island, a.k.a. "Hat" Island. She fondly recalled pleasant summers growing up and chose the island as a haven when recovering from a nasty divorce. Unfortunately, her island paradise is challenged by evils of the present day and a ghost from the past. Now Lily must deal with the realization of a murderer running loose on the island and even being a suspect herself

Where Sea Otters Smile and Eagles Roost

If you've ever walked the perimeter of Gedney Island (aka Hat), or wish you had, this book is for you. The author is familiar with every stone and drift that grace the shores of the island, and leads her reader through them. I know where Chuck found the body! I've been to the tiny marina, the bulkhead, the remnants of the bunker, and the duck pond, and, if I hadn't been, this sure would be a good way to "go" there. N.R. DeWitte's style is reminiscent of Nora Roberts'. It suits this romance ala murder mystery to a tee; and, 'midst all the fiction, there's lots of honest detail about Possession's sounds beautiful little island and its spooky history. Hat's off to a local's debut historical novel!

A good little hometown whodunit

Being a native from the area in which this murder/romance takes place, the first thing I noticed was how I would visualize at the local areas Ms. DeWitte mentioned in her first book. Not to say that the plot was secondary as I read it. The forty-something heroine is at "that" stage in her life - kids gone, recovering from a sticky divorce and seeking to re-establish a social life. And wouldn't you know it, as things start to look up, a corpse finds it's way to her door step. A honestly found myself feeling an attachment to Lily as the trauma, bodies, heartache and a few too many glasses of wine catch up to her. A lot of fun and a good beginning effort. Keep them coming.
