Though she made a fortune on Wall St., her son was into drugs. Realizing, she needed to make a drastic change, she quit her prestigious job and dragged her unwilling son to Eastport, Maine. Jacobia "Jake" Tiptree knows she has done the right thing when her son turns around and begins to behave like a pain in the butt sixteen-year old.
Though the town is quiet, Jake soon tumbles into her second murder investigation in less than a year when she finds a dead person with a bullet in his head. She also learns that Brewster Willoughby, an embezzler trader who Jake sent to prison, has arrived on the island. Two more deaths follow that leaves Jake believing that Brewster is involved. She begins to make inquires without realizing that both her life and that of her son's may be jeopardy.
TRIPLE WITCH, Sarah Graves' second novel is as exciting as her debut tale, THE DEAD CAT BOUNCE. However, this time the plot is more complex and humorous. Jake's ex-spouse, a selfish, manipulative creep, explains the family dynamics that cleverly lighten the growing tension. Ms. Graves writes a hard to put down entertaining mystery that will be reread numerous times by amateur sleuth fans
