A Maine Clambake Mystery It’s winter in Maine, and the snowbirds have left for warmer climates. Buried in snow and ice, Julia Snowden and her mother Jacqueline are settling in for a long winter. Their family business, The Snowden Family Clambake Company, is closed for the season and Julia’s boyfriend has gone to Florida to help out a friend.
The only excitement the laddies are expecting is a new baby from Julia’s sister, but when Julia pops into the Post Office to pick up her mother’s mail, she finds a small box with no return address.
Opening the box the ladies find a huge black diamond necklace. Julia’s mother is shocked. The necklace has been missing for years. Thought stolen after a party that ended badly they have no idea who sent it or why.
As Julia sets out to solve the mystery of the necklace, she finds out the family has a long and colorful history. Along the way she will find relatives she never knew and grudges that are decades old and still going strong.
Will she find the true story? Is their a murderer in the family? Will Julia even make it back home?
You will have to read it and see. This was a book I would recommend wholeheartedly. Ms. Ross’s cozy mysteries have more depth to them than most and I hope there will be more!
