Synopsis

With the holidays gone and Hillside Manor almost empty, Innkeeper Judith McMonigle Flynn has a bad case of the blues. A housesitting stint at her aunt and uncle's retirement home on Whoopee Island with cousin Renie seems like the ideal pick-me-up. But it isn't long before a dead body pops up in their vicinity. Not surprising in an area full of older folks - until they learn it wasn't a bad ticker that did in the victim, but a very sharp knife. With clouds of suspicion hovering over her and Renie, Judith reluctantly begins sleuthing. The victim reputedly didn't have an enemy in the world - except for the killer. Digging for clams and answers, the cousins discover that retirement can be deadly - at least among the eclectic, eccentric residents of Obsession Shores.

I tried so hard to like this book. Loved this series when it first came out. But with the last couple of books, I hate to see the cousins getting nasty and mean as they grow older. I am hoping the next book will find them as witty and endearing as they were in the beginning :)......more

Goodreads review by Sherry on September 05, 2014

Clam Wake is a hilarious and enjoyable tale. Cozy mysteries are great summer reads, murder written with snarky dialogue and occurring in unusual places, like a retirement home. Clam Wake is just such a novel. Mary Daheim, a USA Today and New York Times bestselling novelist, is a prolific writer and h......more

Goodreads review by Bea on September 06, 2014

Although this was the first book in this series that I've read, I had no trouble reading it as a stand-alone. The series has been on my radar for years but I'd never gotten around to it and then this tour came along. Twenty-nine books in, characters are pretty well set in their ways. It took me a whi......more
