Lucy Stone is doing it. Afters raising four children and working at the Pennysaver in Tinker's cove Maine she is realizing her dream and going to England. But even a jump across the pond can't diminish Lucy's knack for stumbling upon mysteries. While on the flight over one of the passengers and members of Lucy's group dies. Was it murder or an accident? With Lucy's past it's hard to say. To throw a wrench in Lucy's trip a former professor is hinting that he's got more than the sights of London on his mind.
The Lucy Stone mystery series is refreshing in that it is real. Lucy could very well be a real woman living down the street from you the mother of four, wife, and part-time reporter. There is no limbo with Lucy where she ceases to age purely because that's what the big wigs would want. No, Lucy grows older, her children grow up, and she even becomes a grandmother. Meier stays true to the character throughout the series. With this series you also get a taste of what living in Maine is like and the people that are here. No pretenses, no stereotypes just real people. Even though this book is based in England Meier handles the shift well and keeps you enthralled page after page.
