“Highet and Jones’ setting is rich with both temporal and geographic details, and some of the best writing conveys Emily’s early, fish-out-of-water impressions of New England.”

“So compelling the tale, so endearing, wicked, and crafty the cast of characters, so stunning the sea-slicked, mist-tinged landscapes, that one feels viscerally pulled back in time to Prohibition Era coastal New England.
Maybe it’s because I come from this stock, or because I grew up among these Atlantic waters, but this story now lives in deep my bones.”
— Jill Kiedaisch
★★★★★ With an atmosphere that fans of The Great Gatsby and Somewhere in Time will love and a mystery element that harkens back to the days of Agatha Christie novels or more recent films like Knives Out, authors Marshall Highet and Bird Jones’s The Washashore is a must-read historical fiction mystery.
