The Scrabble game between Jane Weld and Ada Varick is no simple thing. Fifty years ago, Jane's father disappeared, and his skull was subsequently discovered with a bullet hole in it. Rumor had it that he was murdered by the husband of his mistress—yes, Ada Varick. Now Jane wants the truth. With book club pitches, an NPR interview, and a New England tour; Tripp is not huge but is building nicely, so this is worth watching.
