Trading in Texas heat for Maine's tangy salt air, Natalie Barnes risked it all to buy the Gray Whale Inn, a quaint bed and breakfast on Cranberry Island. She adores whipping up buttery muffins and other rich breakfast treats for her guests until Bernard Katz checks in. The overbearing land developer plans to build a resort next door where an endangered colony of black-chinned terns is nesting. Worried about the birds, the inevitable transformation of the sleepy fishing community, and her livelihood, Natalie takes a public stand against the project. But the town board sides with Katz. Just when it seems like things can't get any worse, Natalie finds Katz dead. Now the police and much of the town think she's guilty. Can Natalie track down the true killer before she's hauled off to jail...or becomes the next victim?

I really enjoyed the build up to this mystery and the clues along the way- I never saw it coming- the main character is nosy and smart and I liked her and the small town a lot!!!

Terrific build up- the mystery was so engaging

Slow to start but later Kent wondering who had "done it." was difficult to imagine every character. The narrator was good but had a slight lisp at times as if I she were wearing a retainer.

Slow to start, but keeps you have guessing.

A fascinating old Inn With a new owner who cashed in everything to buy this amazing old Inn only to have someone come along and want to raise it and replace it with a new resort. With a police captain who sees only one possible person as themurderer, read to see who the real criminals are.

This cozy murder mystery was a great palette cleanser in between series I’m reading! A little cliche at times but definitely kept me thinking who done it!

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

The book was OK. It was a predictable but entertaining story. But the narrator was tough. She had a very difficult time, it sounded like it was a lot of work for her to speak clearly & her voice sounded too old for the character. I'd gauge the character was supposed to be in her 40's but the narrator sounded more like 60's. Her pronunciation was tough......she said stuff like "sh-oc-o-late chip cookies" which was actually said quite often throughout the book.........there was a lot of SH for the CH sound and it was as if she was adding syllables to words. Not my favorite narrator.

OK.........but the narrator

The story seems okay but the narrator has no expression in her voice. It may as well have been read by my computer text to voice.

Couldn't finish

Halfway through this book I wish I would have started a drinking game. Every time the word “cookie” was mentioned. I thought there was something significant in the end about cookies, but no. So grab a bottle (or 2) of wine and take swig every time she mentions cookies and you will enjoy this audiobook.

Hallmark mystery??
