Burned-out Boston chef Nora Marsh arrives in Gull Harbor, Maine, intending to repair and sell the seaside inn she has inherited. When a guest dies from a shellfish allergy, Nora’s knowledge of food leads her to question the police’s accident ruling. The investigation puts her reputation and the inn at risk, while opening questions about local influence, harbor purchases, and what her great-aunt was protecting. The culinary details are woven into a cozy mystery set in a small coastal town, with Nora’s plans to leave colliding with the practical demands of clearing her name and keeping the business afloat.
