Murder at the lobstah shack / by Day, Maddie.;
When murder turns out to be the special of the day at her friend's seafood restaurant, bicycle shop owner Mackenzie "Mac" Almeida and her fellow book club sleuths have to net a killer... From clam chowdahs to oysters on the half-shell, Tulia Peters' Lobstah Shack offers locals and tourists in Westham, Massachusetts, some of Cape Cod's most amazing cuisine.

And they're getting crabby about Mac intruding on their affairs...
