Torn Asunder is the twelfth installment in the Maine Clambake Mystery series set in Busman's Harbor, Maine and featuring Julia Snowden. With renovations complete to Windsholme, her family's home and event space on Morrow Island, Julia is looking forward to hosting her first wedding. Her best friend and business partner, Zoey is getting married to Julia's childhood friend and neighbor, Jamie.
Locals combined with Zoey's artistic friends from all around the country would be coming together on Morrow Island for the celebration. The rehearsal dinner is the traditional Snowden Family Clambake complete with yummy lobsters. Things seem to be going well until a mysterious dinner guest collapses and dies. Both Zoey and Jamie claim not to know the man, but as the investigation continues it seems he actually had connections to the bride and several of her guests. Julia and her boyfriend Tom, Maine State Police Detective, find themselves in the midst of solving another murder.
The ending is a bit of a shock, but I completely understand the decision the author has made. I will miss my friends in Busman's Harbor and I strongly encourage anyone who has not yet read the series to dive right in. The wrap up was just right and I close the cover picturing Julia and her family living happily ever after.
