Linda Greenlaw’s latest Jane Bunker Mystery novel, Fisherman’s Bend,
is another fine example of her nautical savvy. Her command of the
language of the ocean is strong,
which translates into a fun and
plausible read. The use of clever Maine similes and metaphors project a
genuine Maine mood, thick as the fog on the coastline. Greenlaw fills
our heads with all the details and facts of a world she knows
intimately, while weaving in a true yarn of a mystery
We also enjoyed the dry Maine humor which helped to round out the
characters. As Mainers, we appreciated this authentic touch. For those
reading the novel who are “from away", it is a refreshing taste of the
salty curmudgeons one often finds here. Hopefully, we will hear more
from Jane Bunker and Linda Greenlaw very soon!
