In the ninth installment of the award-winning Maine Clambake Mystery
series, Julia Snowden and the Snowden Family Clambake Company return for
another case of mystery and murder in Maine--this time, Julia must
uncover the murderer of an oyster farmer.
When oyster farmer Andie Greatorex is robbed of a bucket of oyster seed
worth $35,000, she comes to Julia Snowden for help. Who wants to sink
Andie's successful business? Is it a rival oyster farmer, an
ex-employee, a neighbor who objects to the oyster cages floating on the
beautiful Damariscotta River, a lobsterman who feels pushed out by the
farm leases, or someone from Andie's personal life?
Then Andie turns up dead, floating by her dock in the SCUBA gear she
wears when harvesting her oysters. Julia's head start puts her in a
perfect position to help her friends in the Maine State police major
crimes unit with the investigation. But can Julia make sure the right
suspect gets sent up the river before she ends up in a watery grave?
