Murder on the Rocks (Gray Whale Inn Mysteries, No. 1)

Great Start to this Series:
Natalie Barnes has decided to go for broke and trade her life saving for a Bed and Breakfast called the Grey Whale Inn on Cranberry Island in Maine. Soon the slimy Bernard Katz shows up and announces plans to change the whole inland into a mega resort which will include turning the Grey Whale into a parking lot. So no one is surprised when he is found dead, the only surprise is the who and why. Natalie just has to stay alive long enough to get the whole story out. Great start to a new series plus great recipes at the end of the book. Oh, and someone needs to tell the author that you don't get knitting wool from a goat.

Simply Awful.:
I can't even finish it, it's so poorly written and so boring. I am so disappointed. I thought I had found a new author to read. Oh, well.

Delighted:
Delighted to discover this author, heroine and inn! The mysteries are well developed and the recipes are an extra treat. I hope there will be more than two!

The Best Food Mystery Ever!!!!:
I love this book! I could not put it down! I also can't wait to start trying her recipes, they sound delicious! I could almost taste the blueberry coffee cake as I was reading! I am on to "Dean and Berried"!

Wicked Blueberry Coffee Cake, oh my....:
Murder on the Rocks is an excellent start to the Gray Whale Inn mystery series. I loved Natalie. Her personality is upbeat and stubborn. She's living her dream and finding out there are costs. Sometimes I want to yell at her "Don't go down into the basement," but she still does. I enjoyed the supporting characters and her new love interest, John. There were enough red herrings to keep me guessing on who done it, but not so many that I got confused. I love the natural way the author introduced the recipes into the story. When I looked at the full recipe later, I was taken back in my mind to the part of the story where Natalie cooked the food. Looking forward to Dead and Berried.
