Stowed Away (A Maine Clambake Mystery) by Barbara Ross

I know you’re dreaming of those warm climates and sunny beaches, so why not go to Maine? Brrrrr. Stowed away is a riveting mystery that takes place on an island off of Maine where tourism is the lifeblood of the community. I am still reading this one, and am close to the end. (Loving It!) This one is definitely great for cuddling up on a cold night with a good book! Check out the ring in the lobster’s claw on the cover. Uh huh. All I’m going to say on that!

It’s June in Busman’s Harbor, Maine, and Julia Snowden and her family are working hard to get their authentic Maine clambake business ready for summer. Preparations must be put on hold, however, when a mysterious yacht drops anchor in the harbor—and delivers an unexpected dose of murder . . .

When Julia’s old prep school rival Wyatt Jayne invites her to dinner on board her billionaire fiancé’s decked-out yacht, Julia arrives to find a sumptuous table set for two—and the yachtsman dead in his chair. Suspicion quickly falls on Wyatt, and Julia’s quest to dredge up the truth leads her into the murky private world of a mega-rich recluse who may not have been all that he seemed . . .
