I discovered Philip R. Craig when I first saw his book 'Vineyard Prey' in the local library. The word 'prey' reminded me the 'prey' series that I have been fond of. 'Vineyard' may referred to Martha's Vineyard (and yes!). I decided to give a try. Indeed, Philip Craig was truly a great writer, full of humor and clear insight of many things. His story lines are tight and fast paced. Craig was a detail oriented writer. However, the details are all related to solve the mystery at hand. J.W. Jackson, the main character in his series didn't want to get involved into many things, however, more than often, he needed to get more involved in order to be un-involved...
A Vineyard Killing (2003) - The new real estate billionaire Donald and his people got shot when they tried to force people sell their long time owned land. Did John Reilley have a role in this?
Murder at a Vineyard Mansion (2004) - Who was the 'Silencer' to fry those expensive loud speakers? who killed Ollie Mattes, a security of an under-construction mansion? and who murdered Harold Hobbes? the entangled relationships of some oldest families made me very confused. but I got it eventually.
Vineyard Prey (2005) - Who was the 'bunny' wanted to kill Joe Begay and Kate MacLeod? was this really related to their secret government work overseas?
