Rumpelstiltskin reviewed on 9/16/2006

Nantucket police detective Merry Folger 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.
