Death and a Pot of Chowder

A Maine Murder Mystery

By: Cornelia Kidd

Narrated by: Sarah Mollo-Christensen

Anna Winslow, her husband Burt, and their teenage son have deep roots on Quarry Island. Burt and his brother, Carl, are lobstermen, just like their father and grandfather before them. And while some things on the island never seem to change, Anna’s life is about to take some drastically unexpected turns.

First, Anna discovers that she has a younger sister, Izzie Jordan. Then, on the day she drives to Portland to meet Izzie for the first time, Carl’s lobster boat is found abandoned and adrift. Later that evening, his corpse is discovered - but he didn’t drown. Whether it was an accident or murder, Carl’s sudden death has plunged Anna’s existence into deadly waters.

Despite barely knowing one another and coming from very different backgrounds, Anna and Izzie unite to find the killer. With their family in crisis, the sisters strive to uncover the secrets hidden in Quarry Island - and, perhaps, the ones buried within their own hearts.

5 Stars

I really enjoyed this book . Anna and Izzie are engaging and smart. I enjoyed the development of their relationship and look forward to seeing them in future books. The mystery is well developed and realistic with lots of twists and turns. I really like how the two sisters worked well together to solve the mystery. I think this might be a new favorite for me.

Awesome little cozy mystery.

I could not put this down. While from "away" I have lived in Maine for over 35 years and every "Maine aspect" of this book was accurate as far as I could tell. I am really hoping that Ms Kidd has more in the works. Performance was excellent with each character having a distinct voice so it was easy to keep track of who was who by voice tone alone. That is not all ways the case.

Wonderful Book

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The setting was in Maine, one of my favorite places to visit when we go back east. The characters were fun and relatable, the mystery kept me interested, and the narrator was top notch! I was hoping this would be the beginning of a series, but it’s been a while since this book was published, so maybe not.
