About this item

The snow is deep in Maines Busmans Harbor and the mighty rivers are covered in ice. Snowden Family Clambake Company proprietor Julia Snowden and her mother, Jacqueline, are hunkered down for the winter when a mysterious package arrives - heating up February with an unexpected case of murder . . . Inside the mystery package is an enormous black diamond necklace that once belonged to Julias great-grandmother and disappeared in the 1920s. Who could have sent it - and why? Julias search for clues takes her on a perilous journey through her mothers troubled family history, from a squabble over the family fortune in "frozen water" to the recent unexplained death of Jacquelines long-lost cousin Hugh - whod been missing and presumed drowned for more than forty years. To protect her mothers inheritance, Julia must fend off a small army of feuding relatives, solve the mystery surrounding Hughs demise, and get back home before the next blizzard buries them all . . . Praise for Musseled Out "This cozy series continues to stand out with its exceptional plotting, intriguing storylines, and authentic detailing of the lobstering life." - RT Book Reviews
