Used Book – The Jetty under the Moon, Martha Grimes

La Porte is a delightful New England summer resort... With its beautiful beaches, its cafe "Le Rainbow" where you can enjoy an exquisite lemon meringue pie, but also its local celebrities like Maud, the waitress at the Rainbow, who every evening comes to sit at the end of the pier with her dreams and her bottle of Martini. Yet, behind this peaceful facade, fear reigns: over the past five years, four horrible murders have been committed. Young women horribly mutilated. Sheriff Sam DeGheyn is determined to identify and arrest the murderer... Finally, the killer, whom you will certainly encounter, is about to claim a new victim. A remarkable atmospheric detective novel by one of the great ladies of crime fiction.
