Darkest Before the Dawn

A Sgt. Windflower Mystery

By: Mike Martin

Narrated by: Francis G. Kearney

Darkest Before The Dawn is the latest adventure in the Sgt. Winston Windflower mystery series, the popular Maritime tales about a Mountie who finds himself with a new family and a new life in tiny Grand Bank, Newfoundland. Ghosts, mysterious deaths, and a new, perplexing character confront Windflower, Tizzard and the other police officers in Grand Bank as they unearth secrets that have been lying hidden in the sleepy hamlet for decades.

A fast-moving mystery, Darkest Before The Dawn is also a story of love, loss and learning how to grow old gracefully; a tale of family, community and looking after each other, of not giving up hope, just before the dawn.

Grand Bank is home

Truly enjoyed Darkest Before the Dawn. I love how the author writes as if the reader is right there with Winston and gets to be part of his daily life from breakfast with his wife, new baby, dog and cat to help put away the bad guys! Great story about how Grand Bank is home and how Winston has made a grand life there!

Good listen

I was given this book for free,

This is a good listen and the narration is fine as well.

Too slow

Not my cup of tea. I thought it was going to be faster-paced for a mystery.

Wonderful Canadian mystery

I absolutely enjoyed this Newfoundland Mountie mystery, from walking the dog in the forest, to the wild assortment of townsfolk and delicious local cuisine.
The vibrant storytelling is easy to follow, with never a dull moment. I'll definitely read more books by this author.
