A young woman living alone is found dead in her home when the police do a routine welfare check. Detectives O’Toole and Starker barely begin investigating when an older couple is found bound and murdered. Are the murders related? With little to go on, they appeal to other agencies and learn that similar crimes are being committed further up the coast. What do all these victims have in common? As clues emerge reflecting a calculated murder scheme, the detectives fear the worst and seek help from multiple law enforcement agencies in more than one state.
G. A. Cockerham lives on the southern Oregon coast with husband Bruce. She is a retired financial advisor and insurance broker. The first three books of the O'Toole/Starker Oregon coast murder mystery series were featured in the fall, 2019 issue of Southern Oregon Magazine. The fourth book in the series, Murder Takes All, was published in 2020. Murder at Macklyn Cove, number five in the series, was published in October of 2021!
It was fun reading a story about a different part of the country (Oregon)- different expressions. This was not a very long book with overly detailed explanations, and not terribly gruesome scenes. But still enjoyable & had me guessing till the end. The author is new at writing & uses insight from her husband's ex-law enforcement career. I look forward to seeing how her writing progresses.
