The normally peaceful southern Oregon coast has its tranquility shattered by more than winter storms – in this case murder. In these first three short stories of the series, Police Detectives O’Toole and Starker use their intellect, experience and drive to bring more than one killer to justice.O’Toole’s relatives and Starker’s haunted past present life problems and tragedies that make the characters real, leaving the reader with a desire to follow their lives beyond the book’s cover. Whether it’s the discovery of a dead medical doctor on the bank of the Chetco River, or an unexpected witness that turns a previously closed case of suicide into a current murder investigation, the reader will find it hard to put this book down. Quick-paced writing with strong characters and good detail of police procedures. The setting is authentic and gives insight into the beauty and charm of small-town Brookings and its environs. It will keep you engaged, sometimes too far into the night: ). Looking forward to the next book in this series. Amazon G. A.
