Indian Pipes

A Martha's Vineyard Mystery

De: Cynthia Riggs

Narrado por: Davina Porter

Victoria Trumbull, 92-year-old native of Martha's Vineyard, is savoring the sea air over Vineyard Sound with her granddaughter, Elizabeth, when she spots a person who seems in trouble near the top of a cliff. Elizabeth goes for help, but it's too late - the man dies before he can be rescued.

The man had been hired as a consultant to see whether a site's soil could support a sewage system for a possible casino. The police call it an accident, but his death is just the first in what becomes a series of baffling murders, involving a Harley Davidson and an Indian motorcyclists' rally, tribal disputes, squabbling developers, and deeply buried family secrets.

Victoria, who was named a deputy police officer after she proved how valuable she was to fighting crime on the Island, is on the case, assisted by her Wampanoag friend Dojan Minnowfish. Her official position is giving her the confidence to take risks that horrify Police Chief Casey O'Neill. But Victoria compensates for her physical limitations by out-thinking the bad guys.

As in her previous books in the series, Cynthia Riggs captures the rich and varied setting of Martha's Vineyard - from colorful Gay Head cliffs to the motorcyclists' campground where Indian pipes blossom and die - in this stunning sixth Victoria Trumbull adventure.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Entertaining...Porter is a skilled narrator, and the story is engaging." (AudioFile)
"Lovely descriptions of the Vineyard in the fall, plenty of suspenseful action, and a cast of eccentric supporting characters, including the bikers' tough college professor leader, help make this another winner." (Publishers Weekly)

Enjoyable listen

I have enjoyed this series from Cynthia Riggs. I especially love the rich history of Matha's Vineyard. I hope to see the rest of the series in Audible's library of selections.

I can't believe she's 92.

Another very good mystery. Victoria has a very sharp mind and a great sense of humor. Cynthia Riggs is one of my favorite authors. Mainly because she writes some of the mysteries I really enjoy. The characters are so well written and the dialogue is so natural it just makes the book that much more interesting.

Such a fun who did what!

Once again ups and downs ins and outs of what went on on Martha's Vineyard holy cow .

I want to be Victoria…now!

I love Victoria! She is inspiring, courageous, and has a deep insight to others (good and bad sides) we all need to have today. Since this is the last novel with Davina Porter as the narrator, I’ll be buying Cynthia’s Martha’s Vineyard novels - ebook or hard copy.

Beautiful Narration!

Loved it!
Cynthia Riggs’ tone & style are superb.
Never disappoints! And Davina Porter illustrates the difference between reading a book and storytelling. I highly recommend this series.
