Vineyard Chill by Philip R. Craig is the final novel in the beloved Martha’s Vineyard Mystery series, published after his passing from his completed manuscript.   
 
Still recovering from past cases and enjoying the quiet rhythms of island life, J.W. Jackson expects nothing more complicated than good food, good fishing, and family time. But when he agrees to deliver a package for a friend, he’s pulled into a puzzle involving suspicious newcomers, hidden motives, and old island history.
 
What begins as a favor becomes a tangle of secrets, simmering conflicts, and unexpected danger. As J.W. navigates the island’s tight-knit community—its fishermen, retirees, summer residents, and drifters—he uncovers truths that threaten to shatter the Vineyard calm.
 
Perfect for readers who love cozy mysteries with a strong sense of place, Vineyard Chill delivers a satisfying blend of warmth, humor, and classic whodunit tension.
