What is Death in a Cold Hard Light (A Merry Folger Nantucket Mystery #4) about?

Nantucket police detective Merry Folger (The Lems of the North, LJ 9/1/96) is called back from vacation with her beloved Peter Mason by her police chief father to investigate the murder/drowning of young Jay Santorski, who has taken a break from his Harvard studies to wait tables and work as a part-time scalloper. Jay seems to have been too talented, too good to have died in the frigid winter waters, but needle marks on his arm indicate drug abuse. Matt Bailey, the Nantucket policeman whom Merry has never liked, is also missing, and Merry is unhappy with the way the case just cannot make sense. Environmental pollution and wealth from ill-gotten gains bring Merry to a sad conclusion and promise of more in the series to come. Mathews writes appealingly, making her characters human, fallible, and thoughtful and her story line always believable. Essential for all mystery collections, as is the author's Jane Austen series under her pen name Stephanie Barron.
