Book Review Summer People by Aaron Stander

Title: Summer People

 Author: Aaron Stander

 Stars: 4 out of 5 

Review:
An excellent police mystery set in the north woods of Michigan. There is a string of murders/accidents/act of god that occur that has Sheriff Ray Elkins fully occupied. But are things what they appear to be on the surface or is there something more sinister going on and can the sheriff resolve all of them satisfactorily? Only the reader can answer the question of was justice served or was justice denied.

I have rated this book  four stars.

I obtained this book from Amazon in Kindle format.

 Synopsis:
It is late June in Michigan's gold coast resort area. The summer residents are settling in for the season and the tourists are beginning to flood the highways and beaches. But the idyllic vision of a summer at the shore is suddenly shattered by a gangland-style shooting. This murder is quickly followed by the deaths of three more summer residents, each taking place under suspicious circumstances. At times hindered by local politics and the proverbial tension between the summer people and the natives, Sheriff Ray Elkins searches for the possible links between the four victims. As he probes into their tangled lives and dark histories, he finds both the motive and the possible murderer.
