It's well-written, but everything seems rushed.

An old-fashioned mystery/suspense. A man and his 9-year old daughter travel to Martha's Vineyard to discover the truth about his wife's drowning a year before, but what he discovers goes far beyond what he imagined. From the moment they arrive, nothing is quite right.

Some of the connections seemed a bit quick, but this is a novella and it wasn't incomparable to others in this genre, and there were some edge-of-seat moments despite the somewhat detached writing style.

Zachary Blake takes his young daughter on a trip to Martha's Vineyard, in hopes that he can find out the truth about the drowning of his wife the year before. As Blake digs deeper into the mystery, he begins to realize that the drowning wasn't as accidental as he was led to believe. Will he be able to find out the truth about what happened to his wife before he or someone else gets hurt?

I really enjoyed this novel by Ed McBain. I couldn't put it down once I started and it had me on the edge of my seat throughout the entire novel.
