Only her family's dire financial predicament has her back to the rocky coast, for a rescue mission that she figures won't last all that long.īut here we are in BOILED OVER and it's clear her family still needs her - every small accident costs the struggling family clambake enterprise in customers and profits. Snowdon may be from Maine, but her skills have been honed in New York City. Ross's first book in this series, Clammed Up, introduced Julia Snowden to readers last year. ![]() Let's add the new Maine Clambake Mystery from Barbara Ross. It's time to stack up the summer reading, whether it's for the beach or the hammock or the couch. What can I say? My mom loved the rocky, wind-swept coast of Maine my dad never took us to the "gentle" beaches on Cape Cod because they are more crowded - we could go to the colder side and spend less money and waste less time while still collecting shells and sniffing the salt air and by the way, here in land-locked Vermont, "beach" means a narrow strip of sand alongside a lake where the last ice vanished maybe six weeks ago.īut it's June, and there will be hot sunny afternoons, even if the mornings are "fresh" (almost frosty) and the nights sparkle with a cold clear star-scape. My beach life has been the northern New England version: bring sweatshirt, blanket, long pants, extra socks, maybe even hot tea in a Thermos. ![]()
