Brush with Death by Karen MacInerney
One of the best Gray Whale Inn mysteries!
As Natalie says toward the end of this book, she not just loves her beautiful inn ... but she loves the people in her life even more. In this installment we see the islanders - familiar faces and new ones - just as strongly as before.
Gwen's art mentor dies under mysterious circumstances, and there's a weird relationship between a new artist on the island and her agent. Natalie comes across a voodoo doll, and goat's blood is thrown at her house. The mystery culminates in a heartstopping rescue out on the water!
This book takes place around Christmas, and it's fun to see holiday preparations. I loved the focus on art, too!
This is a cozy mystery, true, but I feel like it has more "substance" - it's more solid - than other cozy mysteries I've read. I love the gorgeous Maine setting!
