44 Cranberry Point
Olivia is just back from her honeymoon with Jack and eager to catch up with Bob and Peggy Beldon, who run the Thyme and Tide bed-and-breakfast at 44 Cranberry Point. It is a popular place, but things have not been the same since a man died there. His name was Max Russell, Bob had known him briefly in Vietnam, and no one can say why he turned up or, more importantly, who killed him, because it now appears he was poisoned.
Cedar Cove has other news as well. Grace Sherman finds herself with more than her share of interested men. Her daughter Maryellen is getting married to Jon Bowman. And Olivia's mother Charlotte seems to have a man in her life too, which Olivia is still deciding how she feels about.
