Synopsis: The Snowden Family Clambake Company has a beloved reputation in Busman&’s Harbor, Maine. Almost as famous is the sleuthing ability of proprietor Julia Snowden, which is why an oyster farmer seeks her out when she&’s in trouble. When Andie Greatorex is robbed of two buckets of oyster seed worth $35,000, she wonders if somebody&’s trying to mussel her out of business. Could it be a rival oyster farmer, a steamed former employee, or a snooty summer resident who objects to her unsightly oyster cages floating on the beautiful Damariscotta River? There&’s also a lobsterman who&’s worried the farm&’s expanding lease will encroach on his territory and Andie&’s ex-partner, who may come to regret their split. Before Julia can make much headway in the investigation, Andie turns up dead, stabbed by a shucking knife. Now it&’s up to Julia to set a trap for a cold and clammy killer . . . Praise for Sealed Off &“The beautiful landscape of coastal Maine adds local color to two intriguing mysteries.&”—Kirkus Reviews
