A Curious Corpse (Woodford Harbor Mysteries) - Softcover

Woodford Harbor is a quaint little fishing village along a ragged stretch of coastal Maine. A timeless sense of continuity runs through the picture-postcard community, and—except for the village picnic in summer, a few ruffled feathers when garden club awards are presented, and the occasional gunshot over the bow of lobster boats caught poaching—nothing of much consequence ever happens here. ...and then murder comes to town. Nothing prepares local funeral director Lizzy George for the unknown corpse she finds on her embalming table one fine spring morning. Where had she come from—and who was she? How had she gotten to Woodford Harbor, and who had broken in in the middle of the night to deposit her here? Lizzy suddenly realizes that her quiet succession of ordinary days have come to an ignominious end. Murder! Right here in sleepy little Woodford Harbor! Surely none of the good folks Lizzie has known her entire life could have done something so evil. With a murderer afoot, the young funeral director must suddenly view everyone as a suspect: the town’s lobstermen, the village misfit, the doctor’s wife, patrons of The Old Port, and the breakfast staff at the local diner. It has to be one of them! Aye, but which one?
