About this listen
The honeymoon is over for Police Chief Matt Horning…in more ways than one. Secrets from the past return, hiding a killer. Winter on the Oregon coast–it doesn’t get any darker.
The alarming discovery of a ghost gun in a routine arrest in Port Stirling sets off warning bells for Matt Horning and his police colleagues. Is it the tip of the iceberg in this suspenseful novel?
Matt Horning and Fern Byrne discover that greed and revenge are powerful motives for murder, as they investigate new trouble in their small coastal village. In this alarming case, the entire crime team must pull together to fight the evil that is dangerously close to home. And they’d better hurry.

Great mystery novel!
Ms. Jennings outdid herself in this novel. The plot kept you on your toes. There was alot of twists and turns in this novel. I live in Oregon and was very familiar with all the locations mentioned in this book. I am an avid reader but I'm now an avid audiobook listener. I can hardly wait till the next book in this series. I'm sure it will be as good as all of the books in this series.

Kay's best book yet!
I am so upset ! I couldn't put Phantom Cove down (rather, my Kindle, as I listened to it on Audible) and so finished in record time 😄
Truly a wonderful story, suspenseful, absorbing, and wonderfully paced.
Congrats too, to Matt Haynes, whose delivery, tone quality, and ability to paint a verbal picture of Oregon's beautiful Coast, all combine to create a feeling that you are sitting in same room as the characters.
Ms Jennings: if you're reading my review: why? You should be busy writing Book 6!

Love Your Stories!
i love your stories about Oregon - Port Sterling, Matt, Fern and friends. i binge listened to the first 4 books, loved the stories and the person reading them was fabulous with the voices and accents.
i just started the 5th book and am quite disappointed that the narrator has changed. i almost turned it off, until i realized i can speed his speech in degrees on my phone. he was reading very, very slowly, and his texas and chinese accents are awful. he doesnt sound like the matt i feel acquainted with after 4 books.
anyhow, im going to attempt to adjust, but really dont like his narration of your great stories.
