Death By The Bay

Death by the Bay by Patricia Skalka

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I've been a fan of Patricia Skalka since we met at a library event where she was selling her first Dave Cubiak novel. When I found out she'd put out a fifth book I immediately bought it. Like the other four, I found this novel highly entertaining.

The first four books had an overarching theme of the redemption of Dave Cubiak. This book starts out several years after the events of the first four, and Cubiak, the county sheriff, is married with a new child. He's at a local hotel having lunch with a friend when an elderly doctor, presenting at a medical conference, dies of a heart attack. This should be a routine happening, but something seems off, so Cubiak keeps looking.

Well, these books are mysteries so of course something is off - badly off - and Cubiak's on the case. The majority of the action happens in southern Door County, which is not the tourist area. I found that a nice touch, and I very much enjoyed the characters portrayed by Skalka. The bottom line is that this is a very good read.
