Librarian Faith Newberry is on the case when a Castleton Manor guest is murdered and his valuable whaling relic goes missing.
Librarian Faith Newberry marvels at the transformation of the elegant Castleton Manor into a scene from a rugged high seas adventure when the venue hosts the New England Whaling in History and Literature Conference. Not everything is shipshape, though. Before the conference officially begins, one of the guests, Raymond Prather, makes waves by refusing to show anyone the valuable scrimshaw that he claims is from a legendary whaling ship. Then, after exchanging heated words with the other guests, Raymond is murdered and the scrimshaw goes missing.
Faith and her friends in the Candle House Book Club start to plumb the depths of the mystery. Faith soon finds herself in deep water, and she fears the killer is trying to turn the tide on her investigation. Will Faith and her friends – along with her courageous cat, Watson – solve the case before someone else winds up swimming with the fishes?
This clever whodunit from Annie’s Secrets of the Castleton Manor Library series is a must-read for fans of cozy mysteries, reading, pets, and female friendships.
