Welcome to idyllic Beach Hill--home to ocean breezes, clapboard cottages, and a splash of murder.
It's June in Beach Hill, and the secret's out: Everyone knows that superstar Madison Beech owns a house in town. Celeb-seekers and paparazzi have invaded on top of the typical summer tourists, and the town is packed. Add to that the festivities around the annual Beach Hill Chowder Fest, and there's an electricity in the air. Andrea Biscotti's got her hands full managing her cottage rental business, serving as a reluctant judge for the Chowder Festival, and being friends with a mega pop star. But when a member of the paparazzi turns up dead in one of the Biscotti Realty cottages, Andrea's season is in jeopardy. As the clues mount, so does the scope of the investigation--and the results will impact everyone in Beach Hill. Chowder and Chicanery is a fresh, funny mystery simmering with intrigue, quirky characters, and a side of oyster crackers.
