Death in the Off-Season (Merry Folger Series, Book #1) by Francine Mathews
When Rusty Mason, scion of one of Nantucket's oldest and wealthiest families, is found dead in a flooded cranberry bog, thirty-two-year-old detective Merry Folger is faced with her first murder case. Merry is the daughter of the local police chief; her father is a strict boss and Merry feels pressure to go the extra mile to prove her promotion to detective isn't just nepotism. But the Mason murder is a demanding first test. Merry's investigation brings to light all the tension that plague the tiny community of Nantucket: the decades-old grudges, the skyrocketing real estate, the resentments of the old Nantucket families who are barely keeping their heritage fishing businesses alive. But Merry knows the island and its politics in a way only a local can.
