Murder Most Maine” by Karen MacInerney the 3rd instalment in the "Gray Whale Inn Mystery" series. I really enjoy this series and have been slowly buying the complete series.
I love the characters of Natalie, her bff Charlene and her niece Gwen. The setting of Cranberry a Island Maine seems idyllic, and the descriptions make it so you can envision being on the island.
I enjoyed the pace thought it moved along steadily. I was so engrossed that I read it practically in one sitting and I can’t wait to read the rest! I did think I knew who was the killer early on and ended up being correct. But overall it was a thoroughly enjoyable read.

This series is really cute, and the main character is awesome. I liked the mystery, and I understand that they have to add a bit of drama, but the whole ex-fiance/romantic interest comes to the island and causes trouble was JUST done in the last book...so it was a little old. But the rest of this story was great.

Thoroughly enjoyed book three of this series. I love getting to know the larger cast of characters that series books gives you the time to meet!

I love those books. They are light, fluffy and cozy. No bad language or gruesome details. Just a nice easy book to take your mind off. A perfect predictable book for the summer vacation and the beach. Recipes at the end of the book.
The author should maybe pay attention to time. So they are on an island, which you get to by boat only. They are hiking to a lighthouse, find a dead body, Natalie leaves to call the cops from the mainland and remains at the inn because she has lunch to prepare. She has an errand to run at her friends store on the usland after lunch, just a few hours after the body was found, and her friend tells that the autopsy result is inconclusive....? This is just one example of the messed up time references. Other than that, like I said before: easy, light, predictable, clean and fluffy

I am going to stop this series. The main character is obsessed in an unhealthy way with weight & body size. The author describes many characters as thick, with jowels, etc. I enjoy a fun mindless romp - but these just aren't.
