Oyster Blues

Michael McClelland. ibooks, $19.95 (288pp) ISBN 978-0-7434-5259-5

The seventh bestselling e-book on Amazon.com last year, Michael McClelland's first novel, Oyster Blues, introduces two endearing characters, bookish Florida oyster-shucker Jane Ellen Ashley and equally bookish Happy Harry Harper, who inadvertently get mixed up with the mob and murder as they amble along the path to true romance. A Featured Selection of the Mystery and Literary Guilds, this one may be short on dialogue but serves up plenty of lively exposition.
