Stowed away - Barbara Ross

It's June in Busman's Harbor, Maine, and Julia Snowden and her family are working hard to get their authentic Maine clambake business ready for summer. Preparations must be put on hold, however, when a mysterious yacht drops anchor in the harbor-and delivers an unexpected dose of murder . . .

When Julia's old prep school rival Wyatt Jayne invites her to dinner on board her billionaire fianc's decked-out yacht, Julia arrives to find a sumptuous table set for two-and the yachtsman dead in his chair. Suspicion quickly falls on Wyatt, and Julia's quest to dredge up the truth leads her into the murky private world of a mega-rich recluse who may not have been all that he seemed . . .


Praise for Iced Under

"Ross knows her Maine coast and her snowstorms. Both provide an atmospheric backdrop for a cozy that . . . picks up its pace when its focus returns to the living and the newly dead." -Kirkus Reviews
