Series: Lobster Shack Mystery #3
As Allie Larkin continues to mend, she remains behind the counter at her Aunt Gully’s lobster shack “The Lazy Mermaid”, on the Micasset River in Mystic Bay.
Combining storylines of a missing 3-foot-long lobster named “Lobzilla”, the Parish family legacy, and Allie’s return to the stage of the New England Ballet Company, Shari Randall does her best to keep the reader engaged. Of course, this is where the body of a local frat boy shows up and with this murder all secrets are revealed.
Taking place during Halloween, there are the obligatory witches, costumes, vampires, and literally hocus-pocus, not to mention all the other goings on in this little seaside town. The author throws everything into the pot and it is no wonder that fingers are pointed in multiple directions and to keep things even more confusing, who is actually in which grave in the cemetery and why were they buried the way they were.
It is odd that this book has a February release date since it would fit better as an Autumn read, but that being what it is, ‘Drawn and Buttered’ engages the reader and ties up a few loose ends at the same time.
