DEAD AND BERRIED

Natalie is having a tough time. Her best friend is mad at her, her ex-fiance shows up unannounced and she has a guest who is dogging her footsteps trying to learn all she can about the bed and breakfast business, not to mention laundry piling up like crazy. That's when things really go wrong! Natalie goes to look for the gal who helps out with laundry and finds her dead. The police are sure that Polly's death was a suicide but Natalie isn't convinced. As she investigates Polly's death, she stirs about a hornet's nest. It's obvious that someone is trying to keep Natalie from the truth.

This is the second in the Gray Whale Inn series by Karen McInerney. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, just like the last one. There were a few weaknesses in the plot. The killer had a very minor role until the end. There weren't many clues pointing in his direction at all. The story surrounding Natalie's personal life was fun and amusing. Even though the reader was quite certain all along which choice Natalie would make, it was enjoyable to see her work it out. I'll be looking forward to my next visit to Gray Whale Inn.

Rating - 4.5 stars
