Publisher's summary
An Amazon Charts bestseller.
From Wall Street Journal bestselling author Kendra Elliot comes the first novella in the thrilling Widow’s Island series.
FBI Special Agent Cate Wilde is back home on a remote Pacific Northwest island when she gets the call: a teenager’s skeletal remains have been found on a nearby island.
Together with Tessa Black, a childhood friend turned local deputy, Cate confronts dreary weather and bleak leads to make sense of the death. The complications pile up as Cate is distracted by the coroner on the case - and by nagging memories that draw her twenty years into the past. The remains suggest eerie similarities between this victim, and Cate and Tessa’s friend Samantha, who disappeared when she was fourteen.
Cate finds herself up against closemouthed locals, buried town secrets, and even her own heart. As the case unravels, will she be able to cut through the fog and find justice for the missing and the dead?

Ellery Hathaway knows a thing or two about serial killers, but not through her police training. She's an officer in sleepy Woodbury, Massachusetts, where a bicycle theft still makes the newspapers. No one there knows she was once victim number 17 in the grisly story of serial killer Francis Michael Coben. The only victim who lived. When three people disappear from her town in three years, all around her birthday - the day she was kidnapped so long ago - Ellery fears someone knows her secret. Someone very dangerous.

The death of a teenage Amish girl in a cornfield looks like an accident, but sheriff Serenity Adams suspects foul play. To solve the murder, she must investigate the nearby Amish community with the help of a man who was shunned years ago. At first glance, the case seems obvious. The poor girl was probably accidently shot during hunting season, but when the elders of the Amish community and even the girl's parents react with uncaring subdued behavior, Serenity becomes suspicious.

Just OK.
Not one of her best, I hope that this, first in the series was just to set up the characters and give a sense of how the island was laid out. I sincerely hope future plots will be more compelling.
The narration was quite good though.

Absolutely Painful to listen to
I enjoyed the story but the narrator was horrible. I couldn’t even finish listening, I had to buy the book! I will never buy another book with this narrator, the experience was miserable!!!

The story was hard to follow due to the narrator
The story was hard to follow, mainly due to the narrator whose tone didn't always match her words. I suspect the Kindle version would have been better.
I give this book 3☆s.

Engaging Mystery with a bit of romance.
I was captivated from beginning to end. Relatable characters, yummy ice cream, and happy cows. What more can you ask for?
The narrator did a wonderful job giving different voices to the various characters.
Overall, this was an excellent story to listen to. I look forward to listening to more stories in this series, and by this author.

Two short
This series feels like short stories that should be in one book. Not worth my credit.

Nice little story
The characters in the story were very likable and their relationships were very interesting to read. The motive for the killing was a little week
