Curses, Boiled Again: A Lobster Shack Mystery
Winner of the Agatha Award for Best First Novel!
Welcome to the seaside hamlet of Mystic Bay, where the fish is always fresh, the folks are ever-friendly, and murder is on a roll....
Allie Larkin was living her dream as a ballet dancer when a bad fall put her out of business. Now she's back home in Mystic, Connecticut to heal a broken ankle while helping her quirky Aunt Gully get her Lazy Mermaid Lobster Shack off the ground. Nothing would help Gully more than winning the local food festival's Best Lobster Roll contest. The competition is sure to be killer - especially after one of the contest judges dies after eating a roll from one of Gully's biggest rivals.
Soon all eyes fall on Gully as the primes suspect. Allie may have only one good leg to stand on, but she's not going to let her aunt go down for a crime she'd never cook up. Can Allie, along with her devoted crew of friends, family, and customers, find a way to trap the killer and claw herself out of this hard-boiled murder case?
