For those who relish unraveling a new mystery, "The Hamptons" offers an intriguing escape. It's common knowledge that referring to them in such a manner is somewhat outdated. The novel was an impeccable fit for my tastes, presenting a cozy mystery set against a backdrop of luxury. The narrative's charm lies in its exploration of the genuine inhabitants' lives, steering clear of the typical portrayal of movie stars and celebrities.

The author crafts the setting and characters with such clarity that one feels whisked away to East Hampton. The conclusion was unexpectedly surprising, a notable feat considering my knack for anticipation. With great anticipation, I prepare to delve into the sequel, ready for another adventure.
