Dead Man's Wake, Doiron - B+
Mike and Stacey's engagement party at his stepfather's house on an exclusive lake in Maine is interrupted by a loud crash out on the water. Mike heads for the scene where he dives into the lake and locates a corpse that is soon identified as Kip Whitcomb. Various police agencies are soon involved and the next morning they raise the body of the younger woman he had been skinny-dippping with. Gina Randazza had been strangled. Immediate suspicion fell on Gina's husband, but he had a bona-fide alibi. Mike finds the boat that killed Whitcomb, but the two recent college grads who were in it point to each other as the driver. However, the accident didn't kill Whitcomb, as he was already dead when the boat hit him, and he certainly didn't kill Gina. The murderer is caught by Mike after he sabotaged of a Cessna Mike was flying in with Stacey. I came upon this series a year-and-a-half ago and find it gets better with age.
