Some time back now, Canadian Reader recommended Coffin Cove, by Jackie Elliot, and this past week I finally read it ... it was good! Set somewhere on the Vancouver coast, the settings and descriptions of the weather felt very familiar. :-) Andi (Andrea) Silvers has been fired from her last job and is looking for a new start. She gets a job at the newspaper in the small town of Coffin Cove expecting a quiet place to begin again. Then two dead sea lions wash up on shore ... they've been shot ... and so it begins ... dark secrets, events (including an unsolved murder) from the past and more all begin to surface again. As an outsider Andi hopes to bring a new perspective to things, but will that be welcome? This is the first in the Coffin Cove Mystery series.
