I enjoyed this mystery. De Beauvoir is a good writer and includes interesting information within the mystery plot. I like learning about something new and in this novel it was the historic dune shacks of Provincetown. I appreciated this background information and an adventure woven through them.
I also appreciated an interesting discussion de Beauvoir included between co-owners of the inn, Sydney and Mike. After the death of an acquaintance, Mike questions whether helping wealthy people have a good vacation made his life worthwhile. This was a surprising and welcome serious discussion in the midst of a mystery.
This is the first novel I have read by de Beauvoir and I really enjoyed it. I recommend it. Be ready for a good mystery that is informative and includes an interesting discussion on what gives life meaning.
My rating: 5/5 stars.
