Musseled Out
by Barbara Ross
The busy summer tourist season is winding down in Busman's Harbor,
Maine, but Julia Snowden senses trouble simmering for the Snowden Family
Clambake Company. Shifty David Thwing--the "Mussel King" of upscale
seafood restaurants--is sniffing around town for a new location. But
serving iffy clams turns out to be the least of his troubles. . .When
Thwing is found sleeping with the fishes beneath a local lobsterman's
boat, the police quickly finger Julia's brother-in-law Sonny as the one
who cooked up the crime. Sure, everyone knows Sonny despised the Mussel
King. . .but Julia believes he's innocent. Proving it won't be easy,
though. It seems there's a lot more than murder on the menu, and Julia
needs to act fast. . .
