The Chowder House Murder (A Downeast Maine Mystery) [9781496755063]

Overview

In picturesque Halibut Cove, Maine, the Holbrook family dates back to New England’s first settlers. Over time, they’ve built a seafood dynasty, now headed by three generations of savvy, no-nonsense women. But some people will do anything to topple their standing . . .

Ever since Halibut Cove’s popular eatery, The Chowder House, started serving matriarch Maggie Holbrook’s famous clam chowder it’s been in high demand. Cooked up at the restaurant by Maggie’s ambitious 19-year-old granddaughter, Audrey, the dish even has a regular customer, retiree Chips Hogan. . . . Until one fateful Sunday night.

After serving Chips his chowder, Audrey rushes off to Maggie’s hilltop home for the weekly Holbrook family dinner. But before the meal’s end, her mom, Jill, the local police chief, gets an alarming call. Chips has been found in the street—dead. Jill races to investigate . . . and is shocked to learn Chips’ chowder was poisoned.

When a Chowder House server recalls seeing local diner cook Waldo Duggan in the alley that same evening, he becomes a suspect. And when it’s uncovered that Waldo believed the Holbrooks stole the lucrative chowder recipe from the Duggans in the 1930s, he’s only further implicated . . .

Still, Maggie can’t believe Waldo would murder anyone. For fair-minded Maggie, there’s no choice but to team up to crime solve. Soon grandmother and granddaughter are immersed in a stew of rivalries,
long-held feuds, and looming threats. Because beneath the surface, even a pretty town has its ugly
side . . .
