My husband got me this at a book signing and while I was a little skeptical (I don’t usually read humor/thrillers) I LOVED this book. It was so well paced, I never got bored, and it left me guessing at every turn. It had a perfect balance of humor and murder.

Okay, this book is hilarious chaos. I was at Sherman's book shop in Bar Harbor looking at their Maine authors table, and realized I had to buy this book. I honestly did not have super high expectations, but I couldn't stop myself. It is so quirky and funny, and the world has been needing a lobster-themed murder mystery. If you happen to be on vacation in Maine and you happen to come across this book, please buy it, your vacation will be improved if you do.

omg!! what a lighthearted read. Found myself LOLing FREQuently! loved it ( I will say this book had some imperfections, who was the body in the freezer/ crazy cat lady house? Zekes grandma? typos...etc) nobody's perfect! Glad I picked this book up and would love to read the next Jane Roberts mystery!

This book kept popping up at my local Maine bookstores until I just had to read it. It was an entertaining mystery. For me personally, the mystery plot line didn’t develop fast enough to draw me in. The book was engaging enough that I’d consistently pick it back up but I wasn’t binge reading. I’ll definitely keep an eye out for the next Jane Robert’s mystery.

2.5. Light and breezy, but didn’t grab me much.
