"Sometimes loving eyes don't see what they don't want to see."

A man is found dead off the coast of Maine with no ID. Local journalists Vince and Dave, and their grad student Stephanie, discuss what could have possibly happened to him. However, the more clues they reveal the more of a mystery it is.

I liked the way the story was set up, with Vince, Dave, and Stephanie sitting down together as the men recounted an unsolved mystery they encountered in their past. Despite their age differences, the characters got along well and I really liked their personalities. I found myself thinking of clues alongside the group to see if I could figure it all out myself 😅

As for the mystery itself, it was definitely peculiar. Who was this man? Where did he come from? Why was he found at this specific beach? Was he murdered or was his death accidental? So many questions, which some were answered, but the story itself was ambiguous.

This was a simple, cozy, little mystery with fun illustrations. As much as I enjoyed the setting and characters, there wasn't a whole lot beyond that. I didn't love it, but I didn't hate it.
