A frightening disappearance and a sinister stranger
A teenage girl has disappeared and there are no clues. The similarity to the disappearance of Sabrina’s sister Jessica is frightening. The subsequent realization that a strange man is following her and the stunning reveal of his identity is enough to rattle her. Although her detective husband, David, could use her help on the case, he agrees that Sabrina and their daughter need a mini-vacation at the cottage on the lake but a restful weekend is not in their future.
The characters are relatable and their interactions are believable. I really like this series.
Format: audiobook
This is a good story that also carries an important message about online safety.
Although I’m not keen on this narrators drawl or delivery the story is still Well worth listening to.
Once again Treasure Cove finds itself with another mystery to solve. This series is set a few years after the Daley Buzz Cozy Mystery series but has the same great characters. I really enjoy listening to this group and love seeing how someone’s intuition can be so important when working a case. I will definitely be continuing this series.
This review is for the audio book.
This was okay and a nice easy listen, good for filling in a few hours but not my favourite story in the series. Mainly because Sabrina or he husband didn’t do much investigating or questioning people or suspects, just kept on about how it was a difficult case and might not get solved , in fact if the killer hadn’t gone nuts they might not have solved it at all. You did get to learn more about Sabrina’s life growing up which was interesting.
When Claire goes missing it bring up old memories from the past as there is no suspects or witnesses. In fact Sabrina struggles to come up with a clue, believing she is burnt out she decided to leave the case to her husband and take there five year old daughter out of town to recharge and hopefully away from all the stress she will come up with an idea to solve the case. Little did she knew she would get more than she was bargaining for.
The narrator is quite different and has a way of making everything sound dramatic or like a question is being asked.
A young woman is missing and it strikes too close to home to Sabrina. She tries to keep herself and her daughter Jessica from the danger but it seems to follow her. Will she be able to crack the case without putting her daughter and herself in danger? The audiobook is great
Cookies With a Side of Danger, My twenty-fifth short read/listen from author Meredith Potts and the first in the new Danger in Treasure Cove Mystery Series, Well-written & enjoyable. another cute, clean cozy mystery. I was given an Audible copy of this book & am voluntarily reviewing it. I was impressed and enjoyed the vocal variety & inflections of narrator Lili Dubuque. I look forward to reading more in this series & from this author. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 – July 24, 2018).
Sabrina loves cookies almost as much as I do! She always seems to be eating one or craving one in this clean cozy mystery. Neither she nor her husband can find the culprit until Sabrina finally decides to take her daughter up to the cabin to relax for a bit. Trouble seems to follow her—-There are quite a few twists and turns!
This is the first time I have read anything by Meredith Potts–but it won’t be the last!
Claire Blakely is a lovely 17-year old girl who lives with her loving father. Unfortunately, she is missing. The case conjures up some old memories for Sabrina, since her 19-year old sister, Jessica, disappeared many years earlier.
Sabrina and her husband, Detective Dave Carlson are both stressed over the young lady’s disappearance as they work to find a solution.
To compound matters for Sabrina, her biological father, Walter Cobb, appears out of the clear blue. He says he wants to be a part of her life again. He deserted the family while she was very young and never even tried to communicate with her for the last 40-odd years. Why is he trying to come back now?
Where has Sabrina’s father been for the past 40 years? What does he hope to gain from his return? Where is Claire Blakely? Did she run away? If so, why? Can Dave and Sabrina find the missing girl before something serious happens to her?
Meredith Potts has again created a page turner with enough intrigue to keep the reader’s attention late into the night with great characters and believable situations.
Cookies with a Side of Danger
A Danger in Treasure Cove Cozy Mystery
By: Meredith Potts
Narrated by: Lili Dubuque
One of the best part of Meredith Potts’s books is the baked goods, this one have cookies. This story is in between the Daley Buzz and Mystery of Treasure Cove series, letting us have a look at Sabrina while she is raising her daughter Jessica. And a little different, we don’t have a murder to solve this time. We have Claire, missing just like Sabrina’s older sister and this one hits very close to home. I love these stories. They are quick and easy to listen to, make me think and have characters I have come to love! We get to escape to Sabrina’s vacation home and actually have some doubt of whether she will be able to solve this one! It’s a fun quick listen, and Lili Dubuque brings it all to life wonderfully.
