The Clam Festival Murders by Laurel Richards

The Clam Festival Murders
by Laurel Richards
Cassie Wynn Mystery Book One
Nothing ever happens in a small clamming town like Fatmire, FL.

At least, that’s what Mitch Chase thinks until he teams up with eccentric mystery writer Cassie Wynn to solve a murder.

Vicki Cash is found facedown in her seafood dinner after someone at the Clam Festival slipped her a deadly ingredient.

Now Mitch and Cassie have to eliminate suspects, but that’s easier said than done. Vicki wasn’t exactly well liked. She took her ex-husband for everything he was worth, evicted the town’s most successful clam farmer, feuded with her sister, and bad-mouthed the mayor’s wife.

As they investigate, Mitch discovers this small town isn’t what it seems, and he’s attracted to more than Cassie’s powers of observation. With his quirky and intriguing partner by his side, he’s sure to lose his heart while he catches a killer.
