Lark has moved from California to coastal Washington state and is busy remodeling their home when her new neighbor, Bonnie, finds a dead body on the beach. The convoluted plot contains a controversy over beachfront development, local politics, Native Americans, and an unemployed logger who kidnaps Lark and Bonnie. The storyline has a somewhat unclear ending. Contains some descriptions of the beach and surrounding areas.

A quick read mystery from the Lark Dodge mystery series. This is the first book by this author that I've read, and it was a pretty good cozy mystery. The book is set in Washington state on a peninsula where Lark Dodge and her husband just bought a fixer-upper house. Lark is planning on fixing up the house and getting pregnant, but she wasn't planning on a dead corpse on the beach and a bag of dead sea gulls on her neighbors porch. Will look up another in the series when wanting a quick read.

I don't know how this book got on my shelf, but I can't remember reading anything this boring.
