Double Murder on Martha's Vineyard - Softcover

Cynthia Riggs has published seven books in her Martha's Vineyard series, featuring a 92-year-old protagonist, Victoria Trumbull. This is a reissue of the first two in that series, until now out of print.

Now...a 13th generation Islander, ferryboat captain turned author, finds trouble on Martha's Vineyard. Her protagonist is Victoria Trumbull, 92, based on Rigg's own mother, Dionis Coffin Riggs. Victoria is feisty, alert, and always up for an an adventure -- as was Dionis, who at 98 was canoeing the day before she died. Cynthia Riggs published the first book in this series after her 70th birthday, and issues a new one each spring. Deadly Nighshade takes place in the Oak Bluffs harbor of the Vineyard. The villians suspect Victoria has witnessed a murder, and must silence her. The Cranefly Orchid Murders pits land developers against environmentalists and is based on a real Island political debate.
