I’m currently reading A Whale of a Murder by Valerie Taylor. This book is the first in the Venus Bixby Mystery series and was released earlier this year.

Chatham Crossing is a quiet Massachusetts town where nothing much happens, at least on the outside. An old whaling town, it's best known for the Sofia Silva Whaling Museum. It's also home of Oldies and Goodies, a popular music store run by Venus Bixby. While the town is gearing to celebrate Independence Day, everyone is also planning to celebrate Venus' fiftieth birthday with a gala affair at the museum. But some people have motives other than wishing Venus well. As Venus walks through the museums garden to check on her party's progress she manages to trip over a pair of platform shoes. Shoes attached to a body. A body who won't be around to sing Happy Birthday.
