44 Cranberry Point by Debbie Macomber (2004, Paperback)

This is Ms. Macomber's 4th book in the loved Cedar Cove series.

The book's main focus is about the man who was killed while staying at Bob and Peggy Beldon's B&B. Other stories along the way are about Jon Bowman and Maryellen Sherman. They are in love and have a child together, but Maryellen is not happy with Jon's relationship with his parents. Then there is Grace Sherman who has guilt about her on-line romance consequence with Will Jefferson, and is hoping Cliff Harding will find it in his heart to forgive her. You are introduced to newly married Olivia and Jack Griffin who seem to be having difficulties in adjusting to married life. She likes things very neat, while Jack....well, Jack is a slob who has some bad eating habits. The town is also getting ready for a "dog and bachelor" auction/fundraiser and the last question is....who is sending Roy McAfee those mysterious messages?

Ms. Macomber does a wonderful job of weaving all the characters into the story so you feel as if you have stepped into the town itself. She ends this book with a cliff-hanger so you'll need to read the next one to find out what happens. Good way to sell books!
