Too Close For Comfort: The Sgt. Windflower Mystery Series Book 15

It’s quite difficult to review this book without inadvertently revealing too much. I would like to start by saying that this is a story so gripping that it will keep any reader on their toes.I made the mistake of prejudging it and thinking that because this is the fifteenth installment in the series, it would be a bit repetitive or boring. Nothing could be further from the truth; I enjoyed this title from the shocking opening to its explosive conclusion.The characters are in constant danger and that kept me really attentive to the reading trying to guess the twists and turns of their destinies.I highly recommend this book. I don't think there is a reader out there who would feel disappointed!

Too Close for Comfort, the 15th installment in Mike Martin’s Sgt. Windflower Mystery Series, pulls readers into the small Newfoundland town where mystery follows Sgt. Windflower, who is yearning for a peaceful retirement, but instead is instead thrust into a web of danger when a string of suspicious fires leads to the discovery of an outsider’s body.Martin’s storytelling thrives on its atmospheric setting, blending the rugged beauty of Newfoundland with escalating tension. Windflower's inner conflict between settling down and his innate duty to solve mysteries adds depth to this well-paced novel. Fans of the series will appreciate how Martin weaves personal dilemmas with a gripping plot that keeps you guessing until the end.

Another Sgt wildflower mystery for my collection. In this book, Windflower and his wife Sheila are operating a nice B&B in Grand Bank, and he is active with the RCMP again, back in his element. In the beginning of the book, random arson is happening, and what at first seems like a simple mystery quickly devolves into much more deadly problems for Windflower. I have read some books in this series, and as before, I enjoyed the plot and the twists very much. The author is able to spin a tale of mystery, murder and suspense that rocks a small town, calling into question just who you can trust. A great addition to the series!

The newest book in my beloved Winston Windflower Series is Too Close for Comfort. It always seems like coming home to see these characters again, especially with the combination of courageous, compassionate, and powerful Sergeant Windflower, his loving wife Sheila, and their two gorgeous kids. In addition to safeguarding his loved ones and unraveling perilous riddles this time, Windflower must contend with murder, flames, and a gold robbery. This is another cleverly written and entertaining novel, perfect for current fans of this series, and a great read for those new to this author. Recommended.

This is the only book I've read in this series, and I really enjoyed it. I didn't feel like I was missing out on anything from previous books. I was checking out the reviews for this book and this seems to be a popular and well-loved series and character, and I can see why. The characters are comfortable and easy, the setting is pretty quaint and cozy, all while solving mysteries and crimes. Like Twin Peaks without the scary bits. I enjoyed reading this story, it's well-written and easy to read, and I'd like to check out the other books in this series and see what else these characters have been up to.
