Dockside Secrets by Terry Overton My Review


 About the book  

Sixty-two days after Finley Burke moved into her new lakeside cottage, her life felt peaceful-until it wasn't. With the help of her newly formed friendships in the small village of Sunset Cove, she would discover mysteries lurking beneath the surface. A tackle box, an estate sale, and a deceptive, wealthy family called her to use her experience as a forensic psychologist to discover the untold secrets of Sunset Cove.

Join the Sunset Sleuths as they uncover what really goes on in Sunset Cove and the wealthy Kent family.

For readers who long for cozy mysteries like Aurora Teagarden, dive into the quaint community of Sunset Cove and see what really happens.

And I thought 

What a great read.  Although I have been following and featuring Terry Overton's children/young reader Christian titles I have never read one.  

I was happy when she joined the Cozy Mystery World/Genre. 

Dockside Secrets was a great read. 

The characters are quickly and charming.  Even the main suspect I tended to like.  

I along with Finley and all her friends  questioned whether Blake 3 (I think) was a victum or the criminal.  I did have a hard time keeping track of all the Blake's.  But who wouldn't.    

Lynn a neighbor is the owner of two great dogs.  She lends one to Finley for protection after her cottage is broken into. 

In the end after all questions are annswered and tidy Finley annouces to her friends she needs a dog. 

Along with Cozy fun characters  Terry Overton describes a Cozy lakeside town anyone would want to visit or reside in. 

The town police Detective was a bumbling fool most of the time dependant on the county crime fighters.  His lack of interest in investing is what allows  Finley to be able to investigate where the tackle box cane from and the story behind it's contents.  And ponder the question were the jewels paste or worth millions?

The plot is fun and a little twisty turny and I would have been turning the pages at break neck speed.  But instead I enjoyed the Audio version.   

I am planning on reading book 2 as soon as possible.   

I purchased the Audible version. 

Iwas not asked to write a review.

Shadow of the Missing by Lauren Carr

Image
  My Review  I had forgotten  how much I enjoy Lauren Carr's books.  It has been awhile since I have read a Chris Matheson and a Geezer Squad title.  I think one of the best things that Lauren Carr does is including a cast of characters.  Which is important  because there are a lot of characters to keep straight.  There are alot of suspects in Shadows of the Missing because there are alot of victims in this 45 year old cold case.  The main story revolves around the search for Helen Chris's wife's parents.  Helen and her younger sister have memories  from the last time they saw their mom.  Lauren  Carr keeps the reader interested  with multi plots that actually  all weave together  in one main plot.    There are some great regular characters in the series that uncover leads and hidden secrets.  And new characters like Percy  that I suspect might make their way into another title.  I r...
