Sound good? Place a hold on Murder on the RocksĪbout the reviewer: Angie Andre has been the Children’s Librarian for Tredyffrin Township Libraries since 2013. To date there are a total of 6 Gray Whale mysteries to enjoy. I look forward to reading the remaining books in the Gray Whale Mystery Series. While sleuthing Natalie, is able to tempt the us with baking that will make you want to turn directly to the back of the book where you will find recipes for delicious treats such as Wicked blueberry coffee cake and Killer cranberry scones. I thoroughly enjoyed the cast of quirky characters and Natalie’s determined sleuthing. Murder on the Rocks appealed to my love of cozy mysteries.

Amid her baking and running her new B & B, Natalie must clear her name and find the real killer. Shortly after the town board approves this development one of Natalie’s B & B guests is found dead at the bottom of her cliff. Bernard Katz, a balding and bullying land developer, wants to turn the habitat for the endangered terns into a golf course. If getting her new business off the ground isn’t tough enough, Natalie is on the front lines of an environmental debate over an endangered species of sea birds called terns. Karen MacInerney writes with verve and vitality, and her Natalie Barnes is a Maine original.Natalie Barnes, divorced and seeking a new beginning, leaves her home and job in Texas for the salty air of Maine and her newly purchased Bed & Breakfast called the Gray Whale Inn and finds herself in a compromising situation. Praise: 'MacInerney adds a dash of the supernatural, throws in some touristy tidbits and finishes with some tasty diet-right recipes.'-Publishers Weekly 'All thumbs up for Murder Most Maine, another in the engaging series of Cranberry Island mysteries. To find the true killer and ease her own aching heart, Natalie must untangle the knot of jealous girlfriends and spurned admirers that once surrounded the hunky trainer. The second is a corpse of the fresh variety-the handsome Dirk! Could the spirit that once embodied the skeletal remains-perhaps the lighthouse keeper who disappeared a century ago-be responsible for Dirk's death? The police pin the blame on Natalie's boyfriend who-to her dismay-had a long-ago fling with Vanessa.

The first is a skeleton walled up at the island's lighthouse. The mood on the island darkens when two grisly discoveries are made. He and his equally-gorgeous business partner, Vanessa Black, are leading a weight-loss retreat at the Gray Whale Inn-forcing innkeeper Natalie Barnes to lighten up her butter-laden breakfast menu. It seems like every woman has the hots for buff trainer Dirk De Leon.

It's springtime on Cranberry Island-and love is in the air.
