I always look forward to a new Lee Hollis book and DEATH OF A CLAM DIGGER does not disappoint!
Hayley Powell is one of my favorite armature sleuths. I love her friendly personality and the fact that she is so capable. Despite having so many things going on, she handles it all with grace even as she tries to solve a murder.
The rest of the cast is great, too. I loved the theme of the clam diggers and found a lot of entertainment while reading about this mystery. Although I found some aspects of the plot predictable, Hollis’ charm shines through, making this one of my favorite series by this author. If you end up trying only one of Lee Hollis’ series, the Hayley Powell Food and Cocktail Mystery series is at the top of the list of series that I recommend to cozy mystery readers.
I can’t recommend this series enough. If you’re looking for fun, charming, and interesting mysteries, look no further than Lee Hollis.
Hayley Powell, a small-town food-and-wine columnist turned sleuth finds herself caught between a deadly rivalry between seafood clans!
Food and cocktails columnist Hayley Powell usually reserves judgement for local cuisine, not the people who serve it. But staying neutral isn’t so easy when caught between the biggest seafood rivals in town—her BFF Mona Barnes and the successful Leighton clan. Adding to a bitter decades-old surf-turf war between family businesses, a modern Romeo and Juliet story unfolds as Mona’s son gets engaged to the daughter of her sworn enemy . . .
Spiteful patriarch Lonnie Leighton is also steamed about the arrangement—enough to go to dangerous lengths to break it up. At least, until he’s discovered face down and dead in the clam flats. With unanswered questions swirling, accusations flying in both directions, and a young couple stuck in the middle, Hayley has bigger fish to fry than determining who sources the best shellfish in Bar Harbor. Because someone wants to get away with murder . . . and send whoever else gets in their way to a muddy grave.
Includes delectable recipes from Hayley’s kitchen!
