Boiled Over by Barbara Ross

4.0

It’s clambake time again when the local town has a big summer festival and Julia Snowden’s family and their catering company are set up on the pier to cook for hundreds. But when things go wrong and a body is discovered, she’ll have to work to clear one of her employees—a new hire who immediately flees after the body is found underneath the cooking equipment. My favorite thing about this series is it’s so deeply rooted in Maine culture. Each book is like taking a mini vacation to Maine with descriptions of clambakes (so much food!), town festivals with races out in the harbor running over lobster traps, and much more. This had an interesting mystery to piece out.
