Author talk with Barbara Ross – 1:00–2:00 p.m.

Join us for a book talk and signing with the one and only Barbara Ross. We’ll have time for plenty of questions for the author to delve deeper into her wildly popular Maine Clambake Mystery series. Books will be available for purchase and signing by the author.

About the Book:

Julia and her mother, Jacqueline, have come to the exclusive summer colony of Chipmunk Island to attend a memorial service for Jacqueline’s old friend Ginny, who’s been officially declared dead half a decade after she went out for her daily swim in the harbor and was never seen again. But something seems fishy at the service—especially with the ladies of the Wednesday Club. As Julia and Jacqueline begin looking into Ginny’s cold case, a present-day murder stirs the pot, and mother and daughter must dive into the deep end to get to the bottom of both mysteries.
