When a lobsterman’s body is found under Gordy’s aquaculture raft, Mara Tusconi’s cousin Gordy is the number one suspect. But to investigate, Mara must visit Macomek Island, Maine’s wild-wild west where lobstermen practice their own rule of law.

Charlene D’Avanzo is a natural storyteller and a passionate scientist, and she brings both aspects of her self to her third novel, Secrets Haunt the Lobsters’ Sea. Even Maine natives will find themselves gaining insights into the secret lives of lobsters, as well as the rough-and-tumble nature of the state’s signature fishery. All readers will be swept along by oceanographer Mara Tusconi’s suspenseful quest to determine who murdered lobsterman Buddy Crawford and, more importantly, why.”

Barbara Ross, author of the Maine Clambake Mysteries

Charlene D’Avanzo’s spellbinding mystery about the secrets of lobsters and the people who trap them will snare you on the first page and not release you until the end.
