Is it possible that Abby Strickland, sterling silver expert is surrounded by killers? She lives on the Maryland Eastern Shore of the Chesapeake Bay, known for its natural beauty of green fields, geese bobbing on the river, Snowy Egrets poised on along the shoreline and white swans in flight. She’s drawn into a debate about something that is a taboo topic on the Shore: real estate development.
Anger, resentment and violence flare. Abby must face questions about love, danger and murder. Meanwhile, Mother Nature bears down on the Shore in the form of a deadly storm.
When murder happens right in front of her eyes, her life of beauty and elegance is turned upside down.
Should she believe what she saw…that her dearest friend Lorraine took a life?

The title says it all. I thought the story was just dragged along with the subplot of the hurricane just a big “filler”, to use my term. There were also a of typos just as in the other books. I do not know how so many typos survive. With the the people reading the book before it is published, one would think they all would be gone.
At Fair winds a murder was aimed at Lorraine. Abby and Dawkins are eager to help her. For a mystery, Susan Reiss writes a wonderful book. It had me guessing all through the book.
