Breaker's Reef by Terri Blackstock
#4 in her Cape Refuge Series
About the Book:
Murder and mystery continue in Book Four of the Cape Refuge series A famous mystery writer has just moved to Cape Refuge when a teenage girl is found murdered. Sheila Caruso–ex-con, mother to Sadie and Caleb, and resident of Hanover House–is working for the writer when she discovers that a scene in one of his novels matches the crime scene. When Police Chief Cade and Blair Owens discover a second dead teenager–mirroring a murder in another of the eccentric writer’s books–Cade is drawn into a web of trickery and deceit. Evidence turns up in Cade’s own truck, and suddenly he becomes the number-one suspect. Cade tries to clear his name, but when eighteen-year-old Sadie Caruso disappears, tensions mount to a fever pitch. Can Cade find the real killer before Sadie winds up dead? Is the novelist a demented killer, or a hapless victim? And what does Sadie’s own mother have to do with the crimes? Secrets are uncovered, while lessons are learned about the sins of the father being visited upon his children. Will the consequences of Sheila’s life be fatal, or is there redemption and mercy for her and her children?
"Chief Matthew Cade rarely considered another line of work, but news of the dead teenage girl made him long for a job as an accountant or electrician—some benign vocation that didn’t require him to look into the eyes of grieving parents."

A PENNY FOR MY THOUGHTS?
This is one interesting Ending to a Series! You think anything that could happen, has happened right? WRONG! Now there is a killer out there, that is killing young girls! AND is killing them, the same way a certain author, who has just moved to the area, has written about in his novels. And they know he loves to experience what his Characters are doing...Could he be the one?
Who ever is doing the killing is out to get Chief Cade, planting evidence in his truck....OR having him find one of the bodies, when he's about to propose to Blair.
Cade's Being Accused, and Blair knows he's innocent, but how are they going to solve this one? Blair's new assistant, Sadie, is tied into the case, because she knows the people that are dying...But will she keep herself safe while she's trying to break the case?
But don't worry, This isn't all about the Mystery! You'll Love the ending to this wonderful series that Terri Blackstock has Written! But that's all I"m going to tell you, otherwise you'll guess what it is...:)
Stop in tomorrow, for the Review of Double Minds!
I haven't read many mysteries lately, but this series sounds great!
