Just when things are looking up… A festival can bring you down. Driftwood Harbor, Alaska’s annual Clam Festival is the highlight of the fall. Tourists flock to the bungalows, locals line up for chowder competition, and Lanie Kerrigan’s bistro has never been busier. But when a prominent fisherman collapses after sampling her chowder entry, celebration turns to chaos…and suspicion points uncomfortably close to home. As whispers swirl through town faster than the tides, Lanie once again finds herself caught between serving steaming bowls of chowder and hunting down answers. Her loyal wolfhound Sitka is never far from her side, but the odd circumstances make it so that he’s practically the only one she can trust. With rival vendors hiding secrets, old grudges resurfacing, and the festival itself on the brink of collapse, Lanie has a bowlful of troubles. When her search uncovers unsettling connections to Driftwood Harbor’s past, Lanie realizes this case is about more than just proving her innocence, it’s also about protecting the community she’s learning to call home again. Full of small-town charm, local flavor, and delectable food, Chowder, Clams, and a Corpse is a delicious Culinary Cozy Mystery that will keep you turning the pages long after the last bowl is served.
