Mind Over Mussels

ABOUT THE BOOK
It's lobster season at The Shores, a fishing village on a point of land that's been cut off from The Island in a storm surge. Parker, a collector of art and antiquities, has moved there with his partner Guillaume, a chef just out of rehab. Hyacinth "Hy" McAllister is a website writer looking for lobster recipes for a client's newsletter. She also needs a speaker for the Women's Institute meeting.

Enter Camilla, founder of the Lobster Liberation Legion, spouting crustacean right-to-life rhetoric. The legion sets about disrupting the season by "tickling" lobsters -- stroking them into insensibility and thus freeing them from their traps, angering the villagers and the man who runs Parker's fisheries empire. In the tragic events that follow, the hidden connection between Parker, Guillaume and Camilla reveals itself.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Hilary MacLeod is a writer and former journalist and broadcaster who divides her time between a cabin in the woods near Ameliasburgh, Ontario, and a house in Sea View, Prince Edward Island -- a house that was once inhabited by the hired hand on L. M. Montgomery's Uncle George Campbell's farm. She is a professor of Media Studies at Loyalist College, and spends her free time plotting what her next murder will be.
