Murder At A Vineyard Mansion" by Philip R. Craig

I found this book, written in 2004, the same time as Vineyard Enigma, written in 2002. A brief Internet search revealed that Craig has written about 20 of these novels. Again this series appears to be about the same as the previous book. They appear to be well-paced and mixed with humor and suspense. These books are great for a day at the beach or for lying in a backyard hammock. [I give it 3-Stars]

DESCRIPTION: Set in early June, before the hordes of vacationers descend, the Vineyard crime scene is a tad slow. Then the murders of a security man at a Chappaquiddick "castle" and the scion of an aristocratic landowner raise the ante. Retired Boston policeman J.W. Jackson sets aside such favorite pastimes as fishing and cooking to investigate several old island families, interbred and linked in the most unpleasant ways, all with ample motives and opportunities for the killings.
