If mysteries wrapped in rich, historical tapestries intrigue you, "Amagansett" will be a rewarding read. Mark Mills merges the raw uncertainty of post-war American life with the timeless rhythm of a fishing town, producing a narrative as deep and unpredictable as the Atlantic waters it describes. It's a novel that not only entertains but immerses you in an atmospheric journey on the edges of the known and the uncharted.
