Good afternoon. I picked up this book The Weight of Water by Anita Shreve I am not a big fan of hers.I read Pilot Wife which I like. Why this book?this is about a murder on Star Island in Portsmouth. We have been there many times and a great place to visit. On March 1987 two women,Norwegian immigrants were murdered on the island of shoals.this is a group of island ten miles of the New Hampshire Coast. A third woman survived hiding in a sea cave until dawn the stories move slowly but once you get involved you cannot take your eyes off on this.She keep your interest.I recommend this book for Summer reading I happen to pick this up at the club and give it a shot.Loved it.

@amadeo It was so long ago, I don't remember. I went with my parents. We did have fun and lots of laughs on our trip.

Sounds like a real thriller and it is interesting that it takes place so close by, makes it more real.
