Why read it?
1 author picked Murder on the Rocks as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This first book in a cozy mystery series which is built around an old bed and breakfast on Cranberry Island off the coast of Maine was all I needed to hear to start flipping pages.
Natalie runs The Gray Whale Inn, but discovers a huge resort is planned for the area. Since it’s serious competition for her B&B, the developer is to blame, and Nat must clear her name after he’s found murdered on the rocks.
It’s a light mystery and a nice pre-bedtime read.
From Sherry's list on beachfront cozy mysteries.
