Town in a Lobster Stew — B.B. Haywood

IN THE QUAINT SEASIDE VILLAGE of Cape Willington, Maine, Candy Holliday has a mostly idyllic life, tending to the Blueberry Acres farm she runs with her father and occasionally stepping in to solve a murder or two ...

Memorial Day ushers in the summer season, and among the weekend's many events is the Twenty-Ninth Annual Cape Willington Lobster Stew Cook-off. Competition is fierce and contestants are already steamed, but would any of them really resort to stealing an award-winning recipe? Or making a seven-time contest champion disappear?

Candy's convinced something fishy is going on, and her reporter instincts take over. But as she begins to put the missing pieces together she runs afoul of Wanda Boyle, the town busybody, who's determined to stop her investigation. But nothing can stop Candy from discovering that dark secrets and unbridled ambition can boil over into murder.
