Welcome back to Grand Bank, where community is everything—and nothing stays hidden for long.
As Winston Windflower and his RCMP colleagues gather in Marystown, Newfoundland, to celebrate promotions and milestones, trouble is brewing far beyond the banquet hall. A sophisticated heist operation—led by international mobsters and local biker gangs—is sweeping through the province, hitting banks and businesses in a coordinated crime spree that leaves more than just empty vaults behind.
In Book 16 of the Sgt. Windflower Mystery series, bestselling author Mike Martin returns readers to the beloved, fog-kissed coast of Newfoundland and Labrador, where the bonds of family, friendship, and community are as strong as ever. But even in the coziest corners of Grand Bank, danger can creep in like the tide.
Whether you're a longtime fan or meeting Sgt. Windflower for the first time, you’ll be swept up in a mystery rich with charm, warmth, por’ cakes, movie nights, and the unmistakable magic of a lighthouse that’s long overdue for a facelift.

“The Sgt. Windflower Mystery series is so much more than just stories about criminals and the amazing police force that catch them. (Summary via Goodreads)
When you read books in a series there isn't a lot to say as the number of books increases. Friends are Forever is the sixteenth book in the Sgt. Windflower Mystery series written by Mike Martin. Hopefully by now you are as big a fan as I am ..... if not you have some catching up to do. Don't worry it will be worth it !!
I have said it before that I could read a book with just following Sgt. Winston Windflower around. He has a pretty busy life between his personal and professional lives. He is married to Sheila, they have two daughters, a dog and a cat. Windflower is always changing jobs within the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, luckily right now he is back in Grand Banks where he and Sheila call home. Sheila use to be the mayor but now has other things keeping her busy and the girls keep her on her toes. Windflower has some great friends through work and through Grand Banks. Windflower is also a dream weaver, as were his aunt and uncle, which is interesting in the story to see how things relate.
Okay that is just to give you a little history into this series in case you haven't read any of the previous books or needed reminding. Now let's get to Friends are Forever ....
In Friends are Forever Eddie Tizzard is being promoted to Sergeant and will be working out of the Marytown Headquarters and his partner Carrie will be working there also. Unfortunately while they are at the ceremony with other officers a group of masked men are robbing multiple businesses ... one being a bank where they left the bank manager tied up. Sadly once they begin their investigation, the criminals are long gone.
Things take a turn when they find the bank manager, Tom Rideout, dead. And when they look into it, it seems that Tom was more involved in things than they first thought. This case is going to take them on a wild ride for sure !!
I would love to say more but I feel that what I want to talk about is crucial to the story and would ruin it for the readers. I will leave you with this .... I am thankful that I know the author, through emails, and I have been able to voice my concerns and feelings even though there is nothing he can do seeing as it's already written, published and done but it helps me move on. Seriously SIXTEEN books .... you're not just a fan but it becomes a part of you. I hope that is how you feel with this series or any series, even books in general.
