Is it a rival oyster farmer, an ex-employee, a neighbor who objects to the oyster cages floating on the beautiful Damariscotta River, a lobsterman who feels pushed out by the farm leases, or someone from Andie's personal life?Then Andie turns up dead, floating by her dock in the SCUBA gear she wears when harvesting her oysters.
