This book is interesting and kept me reading from start to finish. I would like to read the other books in this series. I have not read this author before but I will be looking for more of his books. There were interesting characters and a good blend of mystery and thrilling details throughout the pages. It was also interesting to see everything play out and the details come together. There is a touch of paranormal within the pages as well. I enjoyed reading A Tangled Web and would recommend it to others.

The Sgt. Windflower Mystery series is a series of cozy mysteries set in the small Newfoundland town of Grand Bank where Sgt. Winston Windflower is the top cop in the RCMP detachment there. The latest instalment in the series, A Tangled Web (2017, Baico Publishing), has just been released.
It begins innocuously enough:
“Life doesn’t get much better than this,” said Winston Windflower. The Mountie looked over at his collie, Lady, who wagged her tail at the sound of his voice. If dogs could smile, she smiled back. His world was almost perfect. He had the love of a great woman and a good job as a Sergeant in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police patrolling one of the lowest crime regions in the country. Plus, the weather had been mild so far, at least for Newfoundland in early December, and that meant no snowstorms with forced overnighters at the detachment.
Life was very good indeed.
The tranquility is soon broken by news that Sarah Quinlan, a young girl is reported missing. Then there is the issue of missing supplies from a warehouse. To add to his workload, a murder is thrown into the mix and the stage is set for another well-spun edition to the popular series.
A Tangled Web, the sixth book in the series, follows A Long Ways From Home of which I commented:
"If you like police detective crime fiction that takes place outside the customary big city setting, then the Windflower mysteries will be enjoyable to you."
A Tangled Web is no exception, and it serves to gradually advance the backstory of Winston and his wife Sheila Hillier, who happens to be the mayor of the town and newly pregnant. This leads to the consideration of some important life decisions for both of them.
Another solid entry in the series.

A good mystery with a solid plot and pinch of paranormal.
I liked the description of the policing work as well as the paranormal side with the prophetic dreams and the ancient ways learned by family.
Recommended for those who love a good solid thriller.

Sgt. Windflower in Grand Bank, Newfoundland day does not start well when a 6 year girl is reported missing, meanwhile a man is murdered at a restuarant in Goobies, not too far away. But more is happening in Grand Bank.
A pleasant mystery, interesting enough for me to read to the end but I am not sure whether I want to go back and start the series.
