Deep Green Crystals

I read so much stuff that makes my brian hurt that I occasionally need something that just flows. I usually turn to mysteries for that. In this case, i was intrigued by a story set on an Atlantic island of the east coast. I have spent summers on Block Island which it sounds like this island could be. There is a very bright line between year round’ers and summer people. Winthrop weaves an engaging story out of the unlikely mixing of these two worlds. complete with the guy who can’t take the pressure and explodes during the long winter. It could be called a chick book in that it is written by a woman and the two main characters are women, one of whom is struggling with a failing marriage. If you are in any trouble at all with your marriage, DO NOT offer this book to your spouse. Hide under the blanket and read it yourself.
