But staying neutral isn’t so easy when caught between the biggest seafood rivals in town—her BFF Mona Barnes and the successful Leighton clan. Adding to a bitter decades-old surf-turf war between family businesses, a modern Romeo and Juliet story unfolds as Mona’s son gets engaged to the daughter of her sworn enemy . . .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpiteful patriarch Lonnie Leighton is also steamed about the arrangement—enough to go to dangerous lengths to break it up. At least, until he’s discovered face down and dead in the clam flats. With unanswered questions swirling, accusations flying in both directions, and a young couple stuck in the middle, Hayley has bigger fish to fry than determining who sources the best shellfish in Bar Harbor. Because someone wants to get away with murder . . . and send whoever else gets in their way to a muddy grave.\u003cb\u003ePraise for The Haley Powell Mystery Series\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e “Lee Hollis does a good job of dispersing red herrings and keeping true identity under wraps until the requisite climactic scene at the end of the story.” \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e–NY Journal of Books\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e on \u003ci\u003eDeath of an Ice Cream Scooper\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “Plenty of suspects interspersed with ice cream recipes beloved of the foodie sleuth.” –\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e on \u003ci\u003eDeath of an Ice Cream Scooper\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e “An enjoyably twisty mystery laced with the heroine's equally entertaining foodcentric newspaper columns.”\u003cb\u003e —\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e on \u003ci\u003eDeath of an Italian Chef\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e “One of my favorite things with really good long-running cozy series, culinary or otherwise, is seeing how the characters continue to develop and grow with each book.
