I thought for sure I had read other of her books but I can't find any record. Strange. Anyway, this one is set on a Shaw Island in the San Juans - right here in Puget Sound. And while it has several interesting plot points, the main one is murder on the island after a 9.1 earthquake hits the area. I'm not sure I would have been as interested had I didn't live here but I enjoyed it.
