My Review
The Gray Whale Inn Mysteries books are a great cozy mystery series. Have you discovered it yet? Now is the time!
I love the setting of a small Maine island near Bar Harbor. I've only been to Bar Harbor once but it earned a spot in my heart, what a gorgeous spot! I was there on a hot summer day so it is interesting to read about it in the midst of a cold winter.
Great story revolving around the artists on Cranberry Island, financial worries for our innkeeper Natalie and the arrival of the soon to be mother-in-law! Natalie's artist niece Gwen's mentor Fernand is found dead...is it suicide or murder? Next, the victim's lover and his estranged sister have checked in to the inn..the tensions abound. When Gwen is attacked and the autopsy shows Fernand was unconscious before his wrists were slashed, the hunt is on for the murderer.
Great story with plenty of action and suspense. Delightful recipes included at the end of the story. Be sure to pick this book up at the beginning of May.
Thanks for the terrific review! :D
