By moehardy
I was surprised by the twists and turns in this story. When I thought I figured out the main characters they changed and usually I think I can project an outcome when I'm reading a story but not in this one. I'm not sure about the role of the Police Chief and the Italian mobster, the fate of the mooring in Quissett Harbor, but perhaps they and Jesse Souza will reappear in "Return to Quisset". Only Gordon knows. I enjoyed this much more than I thought I would. I am now reading "The Hyannis House" by Gordon Mathieson; I hope you'll read my review when I'm finish.

3A nice mystery, a lovely setting and a plot with many twists and turns.  Apr 23, 2006

I've never been to Cape Cod or Martha's Vineyard, but after reading Gordon Mathieson's book, Quissett, I have a strong sense of those lovely islands. Quisset is about the mysterious and unexpected drowning of a beloved Quisset-dweller, Sam Parker. While the hurriedly-closed investigation rapidly proclaims it a suicide, clues begin to attract the attention of a young couple, once the students of Parker's wife. Paranormal forces compel the couple toward the clues which only heighten their curiosity.

Rich in character development and plot, this book takes the reader back in time to discover the origins of the various relationships and local traditions that make this book such an enjoyable read. The mystery slowly unravels, always leaving room for speculation as to the outcome. I was satisfyingly caught by surprise at the finish. A nice mystery, a lovely setting and a plot with many twists and turns. What more could a reader ask?
