The Searsport Chicken Murders

Ken McAllister thought he would take his mid-life job termination as a blessing in disguise and spend a quiet summer at his bayside cottage regrouping. Some hikes with Ray, dinner and a movie with Jim, and beach walks with Shorty the Wonder Dog. He might even get the motivation to look for another job. But that quiet summer by the sea turned into a murder mystery to unravel before more people die including Ken, himself. With the help of his charming, high society wife, Bunny Lips, and a lobster boatload of fascinating midcoast characters, Ken tries to find the culprit who is terrorizing his sleepy fishing village. Could it be Clyde, his handyman’s chicken who has gotten too smart for his own good? Ken McAllister, technical illustrator, is on the case and will hopefully cut to the chase before a band saw cuts through him.
