About this listen

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 40 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....

Iced Under

I have been listening to Ms.Ross’s
Series for a few weeks now and I’ve enjoyed each one.
Ms. Rosenberg is the absolutely is the perfect choice.
Some times I can’t stand listening to a good book just because of the narrator. I haven’t found anything negative with her work.

B Ross does it again! Great Read

Great story with twists and turns! Second time I have read the book in this case, listen to the book and was just as interested. Definitely five stars.

Flew through it, enjoying every moment

This is the first one I have read (listened to) in the series. It stands alone well. Intriguing story and characters. And the reading/narration was spot on. Highly recommend.

NOT SURE ABOUT THIS ONE BUT IT PROVED ME WRONG

THE SETTING OF THIS ONE HAD ME QUESTIONING HOW MUCH I WOULD LIKE IT, PLUS THE ABSENCE OF CHRIS AND MIST IF THE PRIMARY CHARACTERS THROUGH MUCH OF THE STORY, BUT IT WAS GREAT. NEW RICH CHARACTERS THAT MAY OR MAY NOT BE SEEN AGAIN WERE WOVEN INTO THE STORY PLUS A HUGE BACKSTORY OF JACQUELINE'S FAMILY HISTORY. THIS WAS A GREAT READ!

The narrator made my teeth hurt

theft, greed, Boston, family-dynamics, family, friendship, murder, murder-investigation, multigenerational, cozy-mystery, law-enforcement, mysteries, amateur-sleuth, suspense, blizzards*****

Julia Snowden was born and raised in a small tourist town but went away to college and then to Manhattan for a career in high finance until it got the better of her. Now she is back and is a major force in the family clambake business and is back with her old flame (Chris) who runs a landscaping business. Her mother receives a rather small parcel in the mail with a family heirloom thought stolen in the 1920s, so Julia looks to friends to help unravel that mystery. Then there is the issue of line of inheritance to dig through! Julia is very good at digging into the past all while mom is nervously awaiting her other daughter's new baby during a blizzard. The biggest problem is that mom has no ideas about any possible living relatives. Julia digs that out and it all leads to very dysfunctional family, but in Boston of all places!
Well crafted and with escalating suspense, plot twists and red herrings. A very good read!

Predictable and Formulaic

This is a predictable and formulaic book. The plot is interesting but the pacing I'd sliw and filled with unnecessary tidbits. The narrator is very dramatic and makes it difficult to listen to sometimes.
