by Barb, currently in Boston, but soon to be in Maine. Yay!
Who wouldn’t love an entire week dedicated to celebrating their book? Thank you, thank you to my Wicked Cozys.
It’s been a busy time for Boiled Over.
Blog posts: Here are some blog posts I’ve done about Boiled Over.
Here’s one from this blog last summer about the research I did for the book into wild blueberries
This one from Maine Crime Writers is about the history I created for my fictional town of Busman’s Harbor.
EB Davis interviewed me about Boiled Over on Writers Who Kill. She is a terrific interviewer. Her questions always make me think.
And this recipe from Boiled Over appeared on Mystery Lovers’ Kitchen.
Reviews: There have been some terrific reviews. Click on the links to read the full text
☆☆☆☆½ With quick pacing and plenty of red herrings, Ross leads readers on a thrilling ride to track down a killer.
RT Book Reviews, May 2014
Boasting an eclectic cast of characters, engaging dialogue and a wonderful Maine setting, this was a delectably appetizing whodunit that left me wanting more.
Dru’s Book Musings, May 2014
Ross has served us a great mystery with a perfect amount of humor and romance.
Escape with Dollycas, May 2014
Barbara Ross’s Maine Clambake series provides both great characters and a small town mystery that is intricate enough to keep even the best armchair detective guessing.

The book was well researched with Maine history and the story told was suspenseful and kept me reading to the very end. In spite of the notes I took to carefully keep track of the characters so I could write this review, I must admit that I missed the solution to the mystery!

…she has given the reader a more detailed view of the residents of Busman’s Harbour. Between these two books I feel like I know these characters better and I absolutely can’t wait to set foot back there again and dive into whatever mystery Julia Snowden has to solve next!
Cozy Mystery Book Reviews, May 2014
This one will definitely catch you and reel you in…
Community Bookstop, April 2014
Experiencing an authentic Maine clambake just like the ones described in this series is definitely on my bucket list…minus the dead bodies, of course.

I have really enjoyed this special week. Now its back to “book jail” to finish Musseled Out.
Great reviews, Barb. Somehow I missed that recipe – will head over to Mystery Lovers Kitchen and check it out!
Looking forward to your appearance on Dru’s blog. Also looking forward to getting Clammed Up off my t-b-r list and reading it!
Great reviews! Please come to Baltimore on a book tour. We like clams and lobsters, well, not as much as crabs, but we still love books about them!
