Point No-Point

Finished Point No-Point by David Willis McCullough.  The blurb:

Ziza Todd's new church assignment lands her in Quarryville, an incestuous town full of quirky characters and deep, dark secrets.  While running the church youth program, Ziza is thrust into a murder investigation when one of her model students turns up dead in a meadow and another body is discovered in an old warehouse not long afterward.

Ziza's search for the killer leads her to a bizarre collection of suspects whose only apparent link is the scenic waterfront property that they'd do anything to get their hands on.  

Weirdly anemic in hard to nail down ways.  More than a whiff of an MFA product.  Some light local color and history which is interesting but not enough to really care much.  It seemed a stretch, but there was the promise that this was "the first of many mysteries starring Ziza Todd."

In point of fact, this is the second in the series, and there were no further Ziza Todd mysteries after Point No-Point.  I can see why.
