I'm a big fan of Newport, RI. It is one of my favorite places in the US. I didn't like this book as much and that was a disappointment to me. Firstly, the author presumed a knowledge of Newport that many readers mightn't have and secondly, the premise of the novel was very contrived and not credible at all. This would be an OK beach brainless book but is not a substantial read at all I'm sorry to say
