The Chowder House Murder by Lee Hollis (NetGalley ARC, pub 5/26)

The Chowder House Murder by Lee Hollis (NetGalley ARC, pub 5/26) 3.5 stars. This book struck a nice balance between lighthearted cozy and characters with a little substance. Since it's the first in the series, the number of characters that were being introduced felt a little overwhelming and sometimes spread the stories a little thin. It initially read as very fluffy but then the storyline deepened and was quite enjoyable. I have been craving a bowl of clam chowder since I started the book, and would very much like to plan a visit to Maine! Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington Publishing for the ARC.
