Meet Victoria
Trumbull
In Cynthia Riggs' Martha's Vineyard mysteries, we follow
one of fiction's most delightful and most realistic
amateur detectives. Victoria Trumbull is a feisty ninety-two-year-old
who refuses to let the aches and pains of age stop her
from enjoying her multifarious activities. Oh, and you
just might catch her serving baked
beans on a Saturday night. |

About Cynthia |
"One should know by now never to underestimate
Ms. Riggs. Educated as a geologist, she taught at
the Annapolis Sailing School, lived on a 44-foot houseboat
for 12 years while running the Chesapeake Bay Ferry
Boat Company, was a rigger at Martha's Vineyard Shipyard,
and in her late 60s, she earned an MFA in creative
writing from Vermont College, and has, in each ensuing
year, produced one of the Vineyard-based, Victoria
Trumbull mysteries." by C.K. Wolfson, Martha's
