I really enjoyed this light mystery series set on Orcas Island, my favorite place on the planet. It was easy reading and enjoyable to watch the growth and evolution of the very likable main character as she explored not only her new environment, lifestyle and locale, but also her own life, fears and gifts.

I read all five books in the last week, as I recover from hip surgery, and I’m left wanting more. It was particularly fun for me as I’m an Orcas Island-Resident-Wannabe and could visualize all the places described in the books.

Who know? Maybe before I die I’ll get to live there. I’ll probably need to be a “two-jobber”, or get a gig as a caretaker to afford it, but nothing is impossible.

Though this book was a little slower than the past two, the author did an incredible job of keeping simple life on the Island highly captivating, and the reader gets to know more about Cam, which answers a few questions left open-ended in previous books. I can’t wait to read the next one!

Another great mind candy read. I believe I know where the next book is heading, as far the main arc of the plot goes, but expect more fun twists and turns. And maybe I am completely off track :)

Book 3 in the series. Better than the first two. Love reading the accounts and descriptions of this place I know. And reference to real places (restaurants, stores, etc).

These ones feel like old home week because of my love of Orcas Island and the friends I have there.
I am curious how this series will come to a close - two more wonderful installments yet though.

Great humor and memorable characters

A fun whodunnit with great humor and memorable characters. I read the first in the series, missed the second... may have to go back now.
