We got this book from the Narragansett Library and listened to it on the way down from Rhode Island to Florida this year.  We ordinarily drive two cars but this year we drove only the one so both of us listened to it.

I picked this selection as it looked interesting with the plot surrounding a death on a boat near Nantucket Island.  I was expecting a good murder mystery.  Instead we got a bunch of stuff about three couples and their relationships over the years.  There were multiple flashback passages that revisited the past history of the relationships such as how they came to be friends, etc.

All of the three couples were somewhat dysfunctional and, at times, not very likable.

The book is probably best summed up as something that should have been avoided as it was not only boring, but, at times, very annoying.  All in all, very painful.
