Murder at a Vineyard Mansion by Philip R. Craig delivers another warm, atmospheric mystery set against the idyllic backdrop of Martha’s Vineyard.
 
J.W. Jackson is pulled into the orbit of a wealthy mansion owner whose family is as divided as it is influential. When a suspicious death interrupts their already tense gathering, J.W. must sift through lies, grudges, and polished appearances to uncover the truth.
 
As he navigates the island’s tight-knit community—fishermen, old Vineyard families, summer people, and drifters—J.W. balances sleuthing with his usual comforts: fishing, good food, and time with his wife Zee. But as motives sharpen and danger draws closer, the Vineyard’s tranquil charm gives way to something much darker.
 
Craig blends witty dialogue, cozy atmosphere, and satisfying mystery plotting in this highly enjoyable entry in the Martha’s Vineyard series.
