Murder under the mistletoe / by Lynn, Sherry(Mystery writer),author.;
"Landscape artist and owner of SeaScapes, Kinsley Clark has been re-hired to decorate the town of Harborside for the upcoming holiday season and boat parade. Using the local elements found in Maine, Kinsley creates kissing balls-the town's official mistletoe-to hang downtown and along the wharf. Kinsley is also responsible for Harborside's official "lobster-stacked" Christmas tree, located beside the local marina, where the annual Harborside Boat Parade & Fireworks Display takes place. When local alderman Chris Chesterfield dressed up as the Grinch right down to the green face paint, falls off the pier and into the icy Atlantic the night of the annual kickoff event, the town is in shock. But all eyes turn to Kinsley and her beautiful decorations when it becomes evident that Chris didn't fall after all-and that he was looking to replace SeaScapes with a different decorating team. Kinsley, along with bestie, Becca and Pete, the owner of the Blue Lobstah, must unearth the truth before Kinsley takes the fall"--

Ducks [electronic resource] : Two Years in the Oil Sands / by Beaton, Kateaut; CloudLibrary;
Before there was Kate Beaton, New York Times bestselling cartoonist of Hark! A Vagrant, there was Katie Beaton of the Cape Breton Beaton, specifically Mabou, a tight-knit seaside community where the lobster is as abundant as beaches, fiddles, and Gaelic folk songs. With the singular goal of paying off her student loans, Katie heads out west to take advantage of Alberta’s oil rush—part of the long tradition of East Coasters who seek gainful employment elsewhere when they can’t find it in the homeland they love so much. Katie encounters the harsh reality of life in the oil sands, where trauma is an everyday occurrence yet is never discussed. Beaton’s natural cartooning prowess is on full display as she draws colossal machinery and mammoth vehicles set against a sublime Albertan backdrop of wildlife, northern lights, and boreal forest. Her first full length graphic narrative, Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands is an untold story of Canada: a country that prides itself on its egalitarian ethos and natural beauty while simultaneously exploiting both the riches of its land and the humanity of its people.General adult.15 and upElectronic reproduction.Online resource; title from digital title page (CloudLibrary, viewed May 22, 2025).
