CLAMMED UP (Barbara Ross)

Julia Snowden has given up her lucrative financial career in New York City to move back to Busman's Harbor, Maine to help save the family clambake business.  Her plan for solvency calls for no more than 5 closed days over the summer and things look bright when preparations are underway for a wedding clambake on family-owned Morrow Island.  When the body of the best man is found hanging in a staircase in the old family mansion the Snowden Family Clambake is shut down, forcing Julia to investigate in hopes of salvaging the precarious family fortunes.  Since the main suspect seems to be Chris Durand, her close friend and secret crush, Julia is especially determined to discover the killer.

Ross, who lives in Maine, writes a fun and intriguing mystery filled with characters that you want to know better.  This is the first in this series.  I plan to read more!
