The first in a brand new, multi-generational cozy mystery series introduces three generations of strong, no-nonsense women who head the Holbrook family seafood dynasty in Downeast Maine…and a murder the Holbrook matriarch and her granddaughter must solve, even as it entangles them in a web of small-town secrets, and a Hatfields and McCoys-level chowder rivalry.
Ever since Halibut Coveâs popular eatery, The Chowder House, started serving matriarch Maggie Holbrookâs famous clam chowder itâs been in high demand. Cooked up at the restaurant by Maggieâs ambitious 19-year-old granddaughter, Audrey, the dish even has a regular nightly customer, retiree Chips Hogan. . . . Until one fateful Sunday night.
After serving Chips his chowder, Audrey rushes off to Maggieâs hilltop home for the weekly family dinner with the rest of the Holbrooksâher three uncles, and her mom, Jill. But before the mealâs end, Jill, a police chief, gets an alarming call. Chips has been found in the streetâdead. Jill races out to investigate . . . and is shocked to learn Chipsâ chowder was poisoned.
When a Chowder House server recalls seeing local diner cook Waldo Duggan in the alley that same evening, he becomes a suspect. And when itâs uncovered that Waldo bitterly believed the Holbrooks stole the lucrative chowder recipe from the Duggans in the 1930âs, heâs only further implicated . . .
Despite everything, Maggie canât believe Waldo would murder anyone. For fair-minded Maggie, to keep an innocent man out of jail, and to ease Audreyâs guilt over serving the chowder, thereâs no choice but to team-up to crime solve. Soon grandmother and granddaughter are immersed in a stew of rivalries, long held feuds, and looming threats. Because beneath the surface, even a pretty town has its ugly side . . .
