SAFE HARBOR: Logan Book 5 by Valerie DavissonMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Safe Harbor is a wonderfully written crime novel with interesting characters and beautiful descriptions of the scenery along the Pacific coast of Oregon.
Logan, the main character in the novel, is on vacation with her boyfriend, her adult daughter, her son-in-law, and her grandson. They have traveled from California to go fishing and whale watching in the small town of Depoe Bay, Oregon. Unfortunately, a murder occurs in this normally peaceful town and Logan gets caught up in the investigation.
I was particularly impressed with the detail used to describe some of the minor characters such as a young homeless woman who witnessed the crime and also with the way the writer gave us an interesting subplot concerning Logan’s background that had nothing to do with the main issue, but helped make Logan a fascinating character. Valerie Davisson took the time to make her novel work on multiple levels.
Safe Harbor is book 5 in Davisson’s Logan McKenna Series, but it is the first of her novels I've read. She did a good job of giving me the background information I needed without interrupting the flow of the story. Still, I would recommend other readers start with the first book. If the others come even close to the quality of this one, the time would be well spent reading the entire series.
