This is a short and easy-to-read novel set on a beautiful island. The main protagonist, Maggie, has found a refuge on the island, away from all the stress of mainland life. Here she volunteers at a turtle sanctuary, and when a friend, Vivian Sterling, is found dead at the maritime museum on the eve of the shell festival, she can not avoid investigating the murder. Helped by her new partner and son, the elderly investigator unwinds the many clues and red herrings as she doggedly pursues the killer. Maggie is methodical rather than inspired, and I didn’t feel for her as much as I would have liked, but still fun.
This genre of murder mystery has become very popular in recent years, and it is easy to see why. In Seashells and Suspects, Cressman writes with skill, and there are clues abound to captivate the reader.
