About the Author
Everyone on the Island of Martha's Vineyard knows Cynthia Riggs. Descended from a long line of sea captains and their strong and independent women-folk, she's the 13th generation to live in the old family home. Her father was an experiment for Thomas A. Edison, her mother, a poet and writer. She has worked as a ferryboat captain and a sailing instructor, and she was the seventh woman to set foot on the South Pole. She took up mystery writing at age 70, and does it while running her bed and breakfast, catering to poets and writers.
From the Inside Flap
Now...a 13th generation Islander, ferryboat captain turned author, finds trouble on Martha's Vineyard. Her protagonist is Victoria Trumbull, 92, based on Rigg's own mother, Dionis Coffin Riggs. Victoria is feisty, alert, and always up for an an adventure -- as was Dionis, who at 98 was canoeing the day before she died. Cynthia Riggs published the first book in this series after her 70th birthday, and issues a new one each spring. Deadly Nighshade takes place in the Oak Bluffs harbor of the Vineyard. The villians suspect Victoria has witnessed a murder, and must silence her. The Cranefly Orchid Murders pits land developers against environmentalists and is based on a real Island political debate.
