Left doors unlocked

In the old-fashioned downtown of East Greenwich, R.I. on Narragansett Bay

“We moved around a bit when I was younger, but I grew up primarily in Rhode Island, in a beautiful seaside community called East Greenwich. It was a small town, and so safe that we rarely locked our doors at night.’’

— Michelle Gagnon, crime novelist
