Amidst the rocky beaches of the Oregon coast, Torte’s beloved Sterling and Stephanie have been hired to take over the aging restaurant at the cliffside Whaleshead Resort. Jules and the team from Torte have come out for opening weekend to cheer them on. Despite opening night jitters, the dinner is off with a bang. As guests pile in the front door, Jules and Carlos offer to help in any way they can. As Jules walks a trail leading to the beach, she hears screaming. Erik Morton, the manager of Whaleshead, has taken a fatal fall. Jules quickly realizes this was no accident. Now, Jules will have to juggle the investigation while keeping the restaurant—and Steph and Sterling's new jobs—from crashing like the waves along the cliffs.
I've always loved this series, and this is a wonderful installment. Jules and her family and friends are wonderful characters. The Whaleshead Resort is a fun setting, and I wonder if it's based on a real place. I would love to sit on the beach and watch the waves come in. The plot is entertaining and full of red herrings that had me thinking about the wrong character as the culprit. The ending was a surprise. I thoroughly enjoyed this cozy mystery. Thanks to St Martin's Press and NetGalley for this advanced reader's copy. This review is my unbiased opinion.
