David Handler's The Cold Blue Blood
My mom is currently reading--and totally into--Handler's mystery series, so I figured I'd read the first one. A recently widow(er)ed New York film critic decides to spend some time on a small, exclusive Connecticut island, where he of course gets involved in a local murder and helps the local detective--a sassy black woman who rescues feral cats with the help of her equally sassy Jewish neighbor--find out whodunnit. The writing is a little bit not-great (especially detective Desiree's dialogue/dialect) but I really did want to find out what happened, and the ending surprised me. B.
