The satisfying conclusion will whet the reader's appetite for Natalie's next adventure. Natalie determines to prove Eleazar innocent of murder while planning her wedding and keeping peace among her feuding guests. Eleazar threatens treasure hunter Gerald McIntire with an antique cutlass only hours before Gerald's dead body is found floating at the wreck site. All thumbs up for Murder Most Maine, another in the engaging series of Cranberry. Most vocal of the Cranberry Island residents is elderly Eleazar White, who insists that anything hauled from the ship belongs in Maine. Im ready to book a room at the Gray Whale Inn-Susan Wittig Albert. The long-awaited seventh book of the bestselling Gray Whale Inn Mysteries is finally here When a tour company books the Gray Whale Inn for a full week, innkeeper Natalie Barnes can’t wait to get cooking and to hitch a ride on the antique schooner Summer Winds, getting up close and personal with the local whales. The inn quickly goes from vacancies galore to a full house as University of Maine archeologists and members of a Florida-based treasure hunting group swoop in to vie for first claim on the discovery. In Agatha-finalist MacInerney's enjoyable fourth Gray Whale Inn mystery (after 2008's Murder Most Maine), innkeeper Natalie Barnes's biggest concern is choosing the winner of the Cranberry Island annual cranberry bake-off, until a lobsterman hauls up a piece of an old sunken ship.
