About the Book: 

The Death Collector

by Sandra Kay Vosburgh

Sackets Harbor Mysteries - Book Two

Winner of the 2021 GetPubbed Contest.

Ada Whittaker thought it a good idea when her widowed sister moved to Willowdell, Sackets Harbor’s premier senior living village on beautiful Lake Ontario. But the upsurge in unexplained deaths among the residents makes her ask, when do too many incidents stop being accidents, and is Frances in danger?

Pastor Maxwell Bailey’s elder board “plopped him on the curb outside Westlake Community Church.” Bitter, he’s determined to not care about anyone anymore, until an annoying neighbor, a victim’s cocker spaniel, and the attractive Frances Ferrell draw him into Ada’s quest to identify the death collector.

Questions abound for Sheriff Meriday. Does the kidnapping of his deputy link to Simon Hilton’s bid for the NYS senate? What is going on at the shipyard? Who is handling the estates of the deceased residents? His greatest challenge is to determine which incidents were accidents and which were murder set in motion. And he would like, just once, for his deputies to
nd the evidence before those nosey parkers at Willowdell.

My Review: 

Once again, retired school teacher Ada Whittaker finds herself piecing clues together to a mystery. This time, she is trying to discover what is happening to the residents at the exclusive retirement community of Willowdell. With plenty of clues, red herrings to keep you guessing, and interesting characters, this was a quick and fun story to read. Are you as clever and curious as Ada and be able to figure out who the culprit is in this second Sackets Harbor mystery? Read it and see if you are; I am sure you will enjoy the book.

I was given a complimentary copy of the book and was not expected to write a positive review. All opinions are my own.
