In this novel J.W. is constantly discussing sex. It seems there are very few people on Martha's Vineyard who aren't having sex with someone else, including kinky sex. In this one, J.W. is so aroused investigating the sex life of a playboy who loves'em and dumps'em, he has to engage in sexual innuendo with his own wife on every other page, if he isn't fondling parts of her body.
To top it all off, his two small children behave well above their age. If I had the opportunity to give advice to J.W., I'd tell him to let the kids get a dog so they will shut up about it.

It's particularly quiet on Marth's Vineyard this summer, since a shadowy figure called "The Silencer" began his covert campaign of destruction -- disabling the audio systems in the homes and vehicles of selfish, music-blasting islanders. A respite from the unwanted noise suits fishing enthusiast, former cop, and sometime investigator J.W. Jackson just fine -- until a gargantuan new Chappaquiddick mansion is vandalized and a night watchman is thrown to his death off a nearby cliff.
