A Wild Cove Mystery Series Vol 1-5 - a review by Rosemary Kenny
Murder at Wild Cove:
Police Officer Jane Scott is literally on the scene, when Annabel rushes hysterically out of the bakery - she's just found her sister's murdered body inside!
By chance Glenda (the victim) and Annabel are the sisters of Sheriff Williams - Jane's boss!
What transpires in the rest of this brief novelette, seems rather predictable and a little disappointing.

Susan Dern is Missing:
The eponymous victim, 16 year old Susan Dern, is abducted just metres from her home, as she makes her accustomed short walk from her boyfriend's home one evening.
The alarm is soon raised and her father Larry, concerned neighbors and local, newly-appointed Sheriff Jane Scott, are soon out looking for signs of the young woman in the post-Christmas snow.
A cleverly disguised villain and an unexpected reason for more than one abduction, makes this a fascinating suspense-thriller you won't want to miss!
The Demise of Tom Hendry:
The gruesome murder of Wild Cove author Tom Hendry, discovered by his daughter, Lila, is just the first issue for Sheriff Jane Scott.

Does Jack side with Laura? How does she react?
As Jane draws closer to solving the murder and learns something strange about the local Pastor, her private life is put on hold, until the killer is unmasked in a dramatic and violent manner.
