Mystery Cozy
It's bedlam by the bay, chaos on the coast, another dustup
in Devil's Harbor. Thanks to reporter Molly Donovan, the person who killed
The Big Grabowski is in jail, but things are hardly back
to what passes for normal in the quirky coastal community.
With the aging sewage treatment system at its limit and
huge penalties looming, the mayor orders extreme water
conservation. Townspeople complain, but comply; they make
every flush count.
Then Elspeth spots an image scorched into a breaded crab
cake served up at the Devil's Food Cafe. Swarms of
pilgrims descend on the town and the mayor, despite
threats of impeachment or worse, plants a portable toilet
on every lawn. Only selling timber from town trust land
can supply funds to fix the sewer system. But a tree-
sitting activist for hire keeps loggers at bay. When
someone takes a chainsaw to his perch, Molly discovers the
fall alone didn't kill him-he was poisoned, strangled, and
struck with a blunt object. Who did him in? The mayor? The
girlfriend he cheated on? The environmentalist he
defrauded? Loggers with their payday on hold? While Molly
delves into the dead man's past, hoping to untangle a
snarl of lies and name the killer before Sheriff Greg
Erdman, others chart stranger courses-her father falls for
a shady lady, Henri undertakes an extreme makeover, Adam
flees to the forest, Elspeth sees the light, Icky becomes a
writer, and Shelley takes bold steps to turn back the tide
of tourism.
