From Little Stack

It’s a snowy February in Maine when Julia receives a mysterious package that contains her great-grandmother’s black diamond necklace, which was last seen in the 1920s. Now Julia, who moved back home to run her family’s seafood company, must discover who sent the package, what her relatives are hiding, and what it all has to do with her missing cousin’s death. To put the pressure on, she’s got to do it before a blizzard hits.

If you enjoy New England-set stories or family secrets, you’ll welcome unraveling this mystery alongside Julia.

Publisher Description

The snow is deep in Maine's Busman's Harbor and the mighty rivers are covered in ice. Snowden Family Clambake Company proprietor Julia Snowden and her mother, Jacqueline, are hunkered down for the winter when a mysterious package arrives—heating up February with an unexpected case of murder.

Inside the mystery package is an enormous black diamond necklace that once belonged to Julia's great-grandmother and disappeared in the 1920s. Who could have sent it—and why? Julia's search for clues takes her on a perilous journey through her mother's troubled family history, from a squabble over the family fortune in "frozen water" to the recent unexplained death of Jacqueline's long-lost cousin Hugh—who'd been missing and presumed drowned for more than forty years.

To protect her mother's inheritance, Julia must fend off a small army of feuding relatives, solve the mystery surrounding Hugh's demise, and get back home before the next blizzard buries them all.
