Review of A Beautiful Place to Die: A Martha's Vineyard Mystery

The idyll is perfect with only one murder in the last 12 years, and then a corpse is discovered after an exclusive dinner party with all the local tycoons. Unfortunately that corpse is discovered by a former detective who was hoping never having anything to do with any crime again, but the police won't let him alone and persuade him to help them with the investigation with threads to all the most important people of the community. Fortunately he gets the local doctor to assist him, the beautiful Sarah Lind, who as the temporary coroner discovers what killed the poor young man, who at the party had some quarrel with the most important local tycoon, claiming he knew who his unknown father was and pressing suggested siblings for money. It's a tangle of course, but fortunately that ex-detective gets things sorted out, and although filmed in Canada and not in Martha's Vineyard the scenery is relishable throughout for its beauty and wild romantic character.
