About this listen

A Boston lawyer investigates a prep school teacher's suspicious suicide in this debut for "one of the most likeable sleuths to appear on the crime scene" (The Washington Post Book World).

Brady Coyne never meant to become the private lawyer to New England's upper crust, but after more than a decade working for Florence Gresham and her friends, he has developed a reputation for discretion that the rich cannot resist. He is fond of Mrs. Gresham - unflappable, uncouth, and never tardy with a check - and he has seen her through her husband's suicide and her first son's death in Vietnam. But he has never seen her crack until the day her second son, George, leaps into the sea at jagged Charity's Point.

The authorities call it a suicide, but Mrs. Gresham cannot believe her son, like his father, would take his own life. As Brady digs into the apparently blemish-free past of this upper-class prep school history teacher, he finds dark secrets. George Gresham may not have been suicidal, but that doesn't mean he wasn't in trouble.

Beautifully paced, clever and sophisticated. I am a bit in love with this series. Really hope Audiable will purchase the rest of the recordings. Great narration which fits the mood and the rhythm of the story.

What a fantastic new series

I don't know if I am being harsh but this story has every flaw in a mystery. At one point there is a phone call where as usual the info is too important to tell over the phone of course the person who has the info end's up dead. The villain explains the entire plot at the end because up to this point the hero / audience has no idea what is going on. The hero spends half the book talking about food and drink and every random thought. Upto the point he thinks he is getting close then suddenly doesn't share the clues with the reader. It's very hard to care for the hero and was a challenge to finish I kept skipping forward to skip pointless sections about food.

Not very good
