Publisher's summary

It's whale-watching season in Redwood Cove, and B and B manager Kelly Jackson's battening down the hatches for the tourist rush at Redwood Heights - a Victorian-style estate owned by her boss. And due to recent jewelry thefts, her duties include keeping track of the many dust-covered artifacts spread throughout the property.

But when Kelly finds Sylvia Porter's lifeless body, menial tasks don't seem so terrible. Enlisting the help of a ragtag group of brainy retirees, aka the "Silver Sentinels", Kelly's on the hunt for clues hidden behind the mansion's glamorous façade...and for a killer who may want to make history of her next!

Great read!

cozy-mystery, amateur-sleuth, animals, law-enforcement, seniors

A new job, good friends, an abrasive colleague, an apparent prevaricator who winds up dead, and thievery make up the basics for this really interesting cozy set in Redwood country. Each of the characters is interesting and engaging whether positive or negative. I enjoyed it immensely!
Reba Burr did a fine job as narrator.

Great Cozy Mystery--4/5--The B&B I want to visit!

Redwood Cove's B&B manager, Kelly Jackson’s boss wants help with another property that is close by. Kelly (MC) is in the middle of things soon on. Murder, attacks, thieving, just gets the ball rolling, and that's when the “Silver Sentinels,” are off on another case of sleuthing.

Great story--Great narration--need more

Well worth the credit
Be warned--it is an addicting series (you will want more)

Light (not so cozy) murder mystery

This is my first Janet Finsilver series and I really enjoyed this light murder mystery. It has a lot of different characters that melt together very nicely. I also like how many of the situations are closer to real life - bravo on the character building.
The only thing that bugged me about this series is that our main female character, Kelly is apparently a black belt but whenever she gets in a pickle she rarely, if ever, shows these skills which are not easily forgotten.
Otherwise I really enjoyed this escape.

Great cozy mystery

I like the fact that the culprits are not obvious and plenty of suspects to figure out. I like the narrator and love the Fred the dog and, of course, the silver sentinels !

hard to deal with narrator

narrator was too breathy for me. she made each mundane thing sound like a great revelation. like, "she wore a white pullover paired with fresh jeans!!" this got tiresome after a while.

The writing got a bit tiresome too, detailing what they ate - which wasn't needed for the story.

I had same problem with book 1, but was hoping book 2 would be better. nope. 'm not going to bother with any more books in the series.

Fun, Cozy

Performer does great voices. Too many characters introduced.
Good story, but the number of suspects is too much

reader review of vocabulary could be more accurate regarding pronunciation- find mispronounced proper names and nouns jarring

Fun, cozy series!

I'm really liking this series. it's cozy and fun and the mysterious are good! They heard super corny and there's a great sense of atmosphere. They're sent in california and there's a strong history bends to them. It's a great series!
