Nineteen years after the last Merry Folger mystery (1998's Death in a Cold Hard Light), Mathews returns to her Nantucket, MA-based series with a fifth adventure. Detective Folger has a new police chief watching over her shoulder as she investigates the death of a woman only discovered on the July Fourth holiday weekend when her family returns to the island. A complex mystery involving secrets, a dysfunctional family, and Folger's own insecurities.—LH
