"Amagansett" was written by Mark Mills, a screenwriter, and this is his first novel. It is a mix of historical fiction, romance, and mystery. It focuses on several families or individuals and their private lives then how those lives become intertwined when what appears to be the drowning of a young woman turns out to be a homicide. However, there are only two men who have a gut feeling that it is a homicide--one a law officer and the other one of the fishermen who found the body. Both men set out to solve this murder in their own unique ways until their paths cross in an explosive climax. Although it is almost 400 pages in hardback, it was a quick read for me and held my interest all the way through. It is one of my "must read" best picks!
