Tin Can Mysteries #2
Silicon Waning
Eva Fairchild is reveling in the idyllic, if insular, setting of her adopted home at Marten’s Marina when a rash of newcomers triggers speculation and the not-so-latent nosy tendencies among the residents. Eva is appalled to learn that she’s acquired a surprising new persona along with her new location—since when does she get involved with other people’s problems?
But Ancer Potts’ distress is not to be ignored. Everyone knows the absentminded genius needs friendly nudges now and then to get out of his shell, but Eva’s certain his current trouble extends beyond the realm of social awkwardness and preoccupied introversion. And that was before he disappeared.
Eva is tossed into a sketchy, shadowy world of subterfuge when it becomes apparent that the secret project Ancer was working on is in high demand, and by dubious parties. In the race to find the missing researcher and secure the knowledge that’s inside his head, Eva is forced to rely upon her new friends. But trying to explain to the handsome police detective, Vaughn Malloy, how she turned his elderly mother into an accessory to a crime could result in a real mess.
In this sedate floating community on the Willamette River, first impressions are flat-out wrong.

About the author
Jerusha Jones
48 books64 followersJerusha Jones lives in a small town in the west end of the Columbia River Gorge. When she grows up, she fully intends to be a feisty old lady. In the meantime, she regularly maxes out her library's lending limit, has happily declared a truce with the clover in the lawn, but is fanatical about sealing up cracks in her old house, armed with a caulking gun. Due to the number of gaps she has yet to locate, however, she has also perfected her big spider shriek.
Jerusha loves wool socks, Pink Lady apples with crunchy peanut butter, scenery of breathtaking grandeur, and weather just cool enough to require a sweater, all of which are plentiful in the Pacific Northwest. She is eternally grateful to have escaped the corporate world with its relentless, mind-numbing meetings and now writes (or doodles or fantasizes or cogitates or stares out the window or whatever you want to call it) full time.

Another great mystery!
I've been a fan of Jerusha's books since the beginning. But I think the Tin Can series is rapidly becoming my favorite. I'm thoroughly enjoying learning about houseboat living on the river!

Great Second Book
While the plot was not the best it was a fun read. Looking forward to more from this series. The characters are being nicely developed.
