Sea breezes, Hollywood starlets, and secrets at the Gray Whale Inn…

Innkeeper Natalie Barnes has her hands full helping her niece Gwen adjust to her new baby girl–and managing the arrival of her opinionated sister Bridget–when a star-studded film crew descends on the Gray Whale Inn to film a historical murder mystery. Between her troublesome sister and an inn full of demanding guests, Natalie feels like she’s barely treading water. Then she finds a nosy crewmember floating belly-up behind the inn, and Natalie realizes that the film’s fictional murder plot isn’t the only one afoot.

The next day, a cast member crumples to her knees on set. The culprit? Poison. Now, the heat is on as news reporters and nosy islanders start speculating about the murderer… and the inn itself. Will Natalie manage to crack the case before she–and the Gray Whale Inn–both wind up dead in the water?
