His parents went to look for him didn't find him and he's still not home. Chief asks is the girls, Mr. Finch and the cats can come to accident site, they found his car. Circe finds a ring by front tire. Henry is shown the ring that was found, he says it's Ryan's ring, his mom gave it to him. Ryan's best friend comes to B&B wants to stay there. Ryan's old girlfriend from high school is in town also. Lots of suspects. Good story and characters. Love how the cats fit into the stories.

This story has everything you want from a mystery series. Several people with friendships that are surrounded by unanswered questions, surprising answers all of which will keep you guessing. The Sweet Cove sisters will not disappoint you or any sweet friends!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 14, 2021

I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 because I don’t think adding paranormal information to a mystery improves it. I like when people having no special powers can investigate and figure out who did it. However, the 4 sisters and their older friend are great characters. The writing is interesting and often chapters end with a clue or discovery that makes you want to keep reading so if you don’t want to stay up all night then try stopping in the middle of a chapter. The paranormal bits are suggestions and the main characters still have to do much of the work. I plan to read the whole series because it’s so enjoyable and I want to follow these characters through setting up their businesses, making new friends and finding romance. It has all the other features of a cozy mystery with strong female characters, interesting businesses, and the kind of activities you wish you had more of in your life from walks on the beach to gathering before a fire and taste testing new desserts and candy. Enjoy! I did.

I enjoyed reading this book in the Sweet Cove Series. A young man goes missing and the police chief ask the young ladies for help. There are plenty of suspects. Can they find the missing young man in time, or are they too late? Read the book to find out. Can't wait to read the next book in the series.

The sisters, cats, and Mr Finch are learning to handle their special powers, finding the evil doers who are doing evil deeds, and solving mysteries at the same time. What a delightful series! So, curl up in a comfy chair with one of these books and a cup of tea and enjoy!

Visiting with the sisters, Mr. Finch and the cats is like going home to old friends

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 24, 2021

A missing person then a murder was keeping the family and their two fine felines from a much-needed ski trip. But these sisters, Mr. Finch and the cats are such awesome people that they're always putting others first. They're definitely the kinds of friends anyone would love to have. I'm sure Chief Martin's grateful for them every time he has to make "the call."

The showdown was pretty epic with Angie and Jenna both at the scene once Angie realized whodunit. Sister/twin power! Hopefully everyone really did get to go on that ski trip once this was done!

Sisters and Mr. Finch solve another mystery

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 18, 2016

Angie, Jenna, Ellie and Courtney Roseland along with Mr. Finch and of course we can’t forget the 2 cats are once again asked by Chief of Police Martin to help find a young man who disappeared after his car ran off the road.

The sister’s give up their planned ski vacation to help Chief Martin try to locate Ryan Adams. Chief Martin knows there is some kind of paranormal he doesn’t ask a lot of questions. I love the “cats” input of solving the mystery.

As with the other 7 books, each sister has someone special in their lives. Jenna is engaged to Tom and they are working on their antique home, a few houses down from the B&B which is run by Ellie, (her boyfriend is the attorney Jack) Courtney works with Mr. Finch in the candy store and her boyfriend is Rufus. Mr. Finch is still involved with Betty the realtor. Angie and Josh have been separated for a while due to his business traveling. Angie is feeling Josh may break up with her, can’t give away that storyline.

Love the interactions of the sisters and Mr. Finch, can’t wait for book 9.

Not all friends are sweet

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on September 27, 2020

I enjoyed reading more about the four sisters, two cats and their friend, Mr Finch. A search for a missing young man starts and they get roped into it.
I like the cats who are very vocal at times, especially when they need to alert the sisters. More characters have been added, which means more mysteries.

The straw that broke the camel's back?

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on January 17, 2018

Verified Purchase

Good read but felt that one of the people responsible got off scott free. A slightly more depressing read than the others in the series and the ending was for me unsatisfying. Okay the real culprit got caught but the the contributing one wasn't punished in any way. Depressing.
A young man breaks down and goes missing. What happened to him? Can the girls, their feline protectors and Mr Finch break through the lies and deceit to get to the truth?
