ORR: THE NOBEL PRIZE MURDER

Turned down for this year's Noble Prize, fortyish genetics pioneer Grace Farrington finds out the new head of Research of Oyster River is the man who stole her research! When Dr. Marshall is murdered on ORR's house boat, Grace finds herself chief suspect and is further implicated when following an1800's witch's Curse of Three, two more people die in Oyster River Harbor. While finding herself romantically involved with a billionaire patron and a red necked colleague, Grace must use her scientific reasoning and her eclectic group of friends (scientists, cops, psychics and some other slightly eccentric New Englanders) to solve the murders before she's arrested or killed herself.
