Charlie Cooke runs the Bear Claw Diner in Elkview, Alaska. A young man working a summer job at the fish processing plant in town drops dead in the diner—but he hasn’t even touched his food yet. Another student working at the plant has disappeared. Is he guilty of murder or another victim of foul play? A note for cat lovers—there are lots of descriptions of cat toys that Charlie buys for her cat named Eggs Benedict, or “Benny.” For readers who like cozy mysteries set in interesting small towns, like the series from Barbara Ross, Victoria Houston, and Joanne Fluke.
