I'm always on the lookout for a good mystery series and I've
had my eyes set on trying out this series for some time.
What's not to like? A small-town mystery with a female
deputy sheriff who also works part-time as an insurance
investigator. As a big mystery fan was I was curious and
wanted to see if this series would work for me.
BIMINI TWIST is the fourth book in the Jane
Bunker Mystery series. As a new reader did I find
the book very easy to get into with the characters explained
along the way. Jane Bunker has been in Green Haven a year
now after moving there to take a job as a deputy sheriff
after a failed relationship. She's mostly fighting a war
against drugs, but in this story she is told to cut down on
the hunt since she is so successful that it could affect
tourism. Instead, she is tasked with looking for a missing
foreign exchange student who is working extra at the Bar
Harbor Inn. And, this missing people search soon evolves
when another person goes missing.
I would say that if you have previously read and loved these
books, then you will enjoy BIMINI TWIST. The story is
easygoing, with Jane finds herself attracted to a captain
that may or may not be involved in the case. If you are
looking for a story with a budding romance, a mystery
involving missing people and some mysterious deaths, then
you have found the right book to read!
It seems like everyone in Green Haven knows that Jane
Bunker has scored an invite to the ultra-exclusive Summer
Solstice Soiree—and they all assume she’ll be in
attendance, as one of the few eligible single women in
town. Of course, that’s the last place Jane would like to
be; hobnobbing and making small talk with the upper crust
isn’t exactly her idea of a good time. She prefers to put
in her hours working as an insurance investigator, and
part-time as the deputy sheriff. When she gets to work
one morning, the sheriff asks her to take a break on her
personal war on drugs—it seems that she’s been so
successful catching dealers and interrupting the flow of
drugs in the area that she’s called too much attention to
just how bad it’s gotten, and the community is worried
that all the attention on the drug trade will deter the
summer tourists that Green Haven so badly needs to keep
the economy going.
Instead, Jane takes on a missing person case—a young
woman working at the Bar Harbor Inn has disappeared. The
Inn employs foreign exchange students from all over the
world during the busy summer season, and the missing
Bianca Chiriac is one of them. When it becomes clear that
Bianca isn’t just sleeping off a late-night party, Jane
is plunged into the underbelly of the resort town, and
must find the missing woman before the worst happens.
