We are getting more rave reviews for Too Close for Comfort which will be released on Oct 1, 2024.
Commitment, dedication, love, family, friendship, good food and a lot more
“Any time that I can travel across the border into Canada and spend time with Sgt. Winston Windflower in Grand Bank I am going to take it!!
The Sgt. Windflower Mystery series so much more than just stories about criminals and the amazing police force that catch them. This series is about commitment, dedication, love, family, friendship, good food and a lot more. And in Too Close For Comfort you will see a lot of this in it. Martin knows how to spin a tale having readers on the edge of their seats and I will say that once I got to a certain spot in the story I could not stop reading. (I was actually late getting to the dinner table because I couldn’t stop until I knew the outcome)
Once you open one of these books, you are a fan for life and will continue reading all of the books and then sit patiently waiting for Martin to publish the next book so that you can visit Grand Bank, Windflower and everything else inside these stories. I know I will be waiting.”
Cozy Mystery Book Reviews
……………….
Highly Recommended
“Master storyteller Mike Martin has created a singularly unique concept in the Sgt. Windflower Mystery series by blending police procedures with Cree spiritual traditions. The series abounds with life lessons. He has cleverly crafted an elaborately complex series wisely presenting a myriad of human foibles and the challenges faced by his protagonist.
Packed with intrigue, suspense, humour, and heartfelt moments, this tale makes obvious Windflower’s dedication to his community, offering readers a captivating blend of crime solving and the enduring power of family and friendship. Get ready for a gripping ride through the rugged landscape of Newfoundland as Windflower races against time to bring justice and peace to those he holds dear.
I highly recommend, Too Close for Comfort, an emotionally charged cosy police procedural with characters so intricately drawn you will find yourself completely immersed in their world, feeling their joys and sorrows as if they were your own. You will be charmed by Windflower, a food-loving Mountie with a budding appreciation for classical music.”

Too Close for Comfort

Winston Windflower is back with the RCMP, this time as Acting inspector, hoping life in the tiny town of Grand Bank, Newfoundland, remains calm. But things get stirred up right away when there are suspicious fires and an outsider’s body is found in one of them. Now, they have a murder to solve.
Things get even stranger when there appears to be connections to a major gold heist on the mainland and lots of nefarious characters that start to cause havoc for the local police officers. To add to the suspense, Windflower receives a message in a dream that his friend and colleague, Eddie Tizzard, is going to be in mortal danger.
Windflower must help protect Eddie and those he loves while tracking down a murderer and reassuring the community that they are safe from danger.
Once again, this is a story filled with both intrigue and suspense but also warmth, humour and a love of family and community.
