The town of South Cove, described with its beautiful beach, quaint stores and diner brings about a sense of welcoming hospitality. The established characters were amusing and enjoyable creating a break from the every growing list of suspicious characters and incidents. A nice change of pace, Jill takes you right along with her investigation. An array of shady characters, a sought-\u00ad\u2010after, beach-\u00ad\u2010side property and a series of menacing occurrences, had me intrigued and kept me reading.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The story was engaging and fun to read. A veteran to investigating cases, from her previous experience as a lawyer, Jill is forthcoming with her information. Having a South Cove police detective for a boyfriend, Jill\u2019s relationship strains from the onslaught of the case. At one point, nothing seems to be going right and everyone seems to be the prime suspect. As the story continues and the case evolves, everything seems to fall into place and just when you think you know\u2026the mystery surprises you and solves itself.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Murder in Waiting<\/strong> is part of the <em>Tourist Trap Mystery<\/em> Series by Lynn Cahoon, a New York Times Best Selling Author.
