Synopsis

In this delicious follow-up to Murder on the Rocks, developers have returned to Cranberry Island. This time, they're planning to wipe out a natural cranberry bog, along with the island's namesake berries, to build a luxury subdivision. Natalie Barnes isn't sweet on the idea of commercial interests souring their cozy oasis, but the single innkeeper has other problems on her plate: a withering relationship with her best friend Charlene, the sudden appearance of her ex-fiancé with a tempting proposal, and eerie bumps in the night suggesting the Gray Whale Inn is haunted. Worst of all, there's a killer on the loose, picking off people like ripe fruit.

When Charlene's lover—the handsome chaplain with a stake in the development—is stabbed to death, Natalie promises to find the murderer for her grief-stricken friend, who's also the number-one suspect.

I was disappointed in this one after reading MURDER ON THE ROCKS. Natalie acted like an idiot when her fiance showed up, trying to win her back. Instead of chucking him out on his ass, she just flipflopped back and forth about whether to marry the lying sod or stick with John. Being stupid isn't som......more

I love this series! Karen MacInerney is such a talented author! The characters and setting are lovely. The mystery aspect always leaves you guessing. I find myself getting lost in the pages of the book! I cannot put the books on this series down. Looking forward to the next one!......more
