"Mystic Island" is a book filled with comedy, mystery, sex and violence. It is a little hard to follow, and there are many story lines but you still get pulled into the story. His style of writing is also a little primitive. It is based in "Mystic Island" which I'm pretty sure is code for Jamestown, RI. Finding a fiction book based on summers in Southern RI has long been a dream of mine, which came true when I received this book as a gift. It is mostly written through Environmental Police Officer (EPO) Nikki O'Connors view, and her dealings with the campers and fishermen of Seabreeze campground.
If you are into World War II history, especially in Narragansett Bay, I recommend this book. It even mentions Walter Schroeder's book in the middle of the story. HOWEVER, do not intend to read this book as if everything is true.. because it is a FICTION novel. I'm interested to see what else Mr. Whitford comes up with.

Jan Whitford's first novel is a must-read for all mystery,action, romance and beach enthusiasts! His fast-paced story line and cleverly-crafted cast of characters take you on an adventure that ends all too soon. Hope to read more of these folks in the near future. Get busy, Mr. whitford!
