"Spencer Murphy is a national treasure: a famous war correspondent who escaped captivity in Southeast Asia, his books and television appearances have made him a fortune for half a century. But Spencer, a venerable member of the Wharf Rats--Nantucket's exclusive club for fishermen, storytellers, and characters--is growing forgetful with age.

Well-written series with good characters and a great sense of place for those who love Nantucket. The author is a pro, which means that the pacing is steady and the plot is inextricable from the individuals who move it along.
I plan to finish the entire series and then pass the books along to friends with a house on Nantucket to enjoy.
