The Final Farewell: A Northwest Cozy Mystery (Northwest Cozy Mystery Series Book 28) Kindle Edition
Vanishing Act - Northwest Cozy Mystery Series, Book Finale
When young college student Nicole vanishes without a trace, the police brush it off as another youngster taking a spontaneous break. But a renowned television news anchor senses there's more beneath the surface. Enter Jake and Al, the tireless private investigators, hired to unearth the truth behind the mystery.
As they delve deeper, the plot thickens. Nicole's roommates and boyfriend, who should have been frantic with worry, appear eerily unconcerned. The discovery of mysterious texts from an anonymous admirer further muddies the waters. Was Nicole's disappearance a result of a secret rendezvous? Or is something more sinister at play?
As Jake and Al traverse this intricate maze, they grapple with the weight of consecutive challenging cases that have taken a toll on their stamina. It's undeniable; they're not as young as they once were, and the demands of the profession are catching up. Perhaps, after this case, a much-needed change is in order.
To recoup and reflect on their futures, the duo, accompanied by their cherished families – Cassie, DeeDee, and the adorable Gemma – embark on a rejuvenating Hawaiian getaway. But the tropical paradise isn't just sun and sand; it holds promises of a bright future. As DeeDee discovers, her culinary prowess could propel her into fame, catching the attention of a celebrated model and an influential cookbook editor.
In this exhilarating conclusion to the Northwest Cozy Mystery Series, delve deep into a mystery that will keep you guessing, while exploring the profound journey of characters you've grown to love. What lies ahead for Jake, Al, and their families? Dive into the final chapters to find out.
Be enthralled by the gripping end to a beloved series from a USA Today Bestselling Author. Your heart will race, and your soul will be touched. Don't miss out!
What makes it even harder for Jake and Al is the fact they’ve been involved in one difficult case after another without a break. Maybe when this case is solved, the time will have come to make some changes. They’re not getting any younger, and they need to start thinking about their futures.
They decide, along with their families, Cassie, DeeDee, and little Gemma, to take a vacation in Hawaii. But what does the future hold for Al and Jake, and even Al’s little girl, Gemma? What will she grow up to be? And could DeeDee’s cookbook make her a future well-known household name? As she finds out when they’re in Hawaii, a famous model and prominent cookbook editor certainly think so.
Don’t miss the page-turning final book in the Northwest Cozy Mystery Series by a USA Today Bestselling Author!

Reviewed in the United States ���� on January 31, 2023
I hate to see the series end but all good things will finally come to a close. A remarkable story with a great ending and to see Gemma all grown up. Perfect ending to a great story.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2025It is a fabulous series with a mix of careers, family, mysteries, cooking, and life!
Often, I found myself finishing one book & reading half of the next in the same day; I couldn't put it down.
Thank you for the fun!
- Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2024Thank you for the Northwest Cozy Mystery Series. It was a great journey solving all these crimes. I can’t believe how you come up with all these stories. But please continue create these entertaining and captivating stories.

- Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2024This one took all kinds of twists and turns, but ended on a good note. Sorry this is the last book in this series, I’ll miss reading about all the characters and their adventures.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2023I can't believe this is the last in this series. It is definitely one of my favorites. I will so miss Al, the ex mobster who left the mob and turned his life around--oh he still had his Brooklyn accent and occasionally took short cuts which possibly maybe not all that legal. Jake and Al solved every case they took on--This last case was a doozy and they weren't really sure if they could solve it.
Meanwhile DeeDee finally finished her cookbook but is a nervous wreck about it. How will that all turn out?
The ending will make you smile when you find out what Al and Cassie's daughter became and what she graduated as--I loved Al's take on it!!
I am hoping that just maybe the people in the series show up in other series--if not I sure will miss them!!

- Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2023I have read this series, along with all of Dianne Harman's books. Some I like better than others, but one thing they all have in common is Dianne's ability to bring you into the characters lives. You feel like they are your friends, your family. First there was Dee Dee and Tink, then Cassie, Jake and Al. Then Gemma and all who came in between. I'll miss them but maybe sometime in the future they will want to share some more of themselves with us. Thank you for sharing there lives with us, and letting us know Gamma grew up. Wish I could know more about the years in between, but as and ending to a series it sweet. If you haven't had the opportunity to read A Northwest Cozy Mystery series, you should. The best thing about books is that there is no expiration date, but they do become harder to find.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2023I have read the majority of the books written by Mrs. Harman across her many different series, but this one is my favorite. DeeDee, Jake, Al and Cassie are like old friends. I have read every book, some more than once. But all good things must come to an end. This was a bittersweet novel, well written as always, held my interest until the end. A satisfying ending, wrapped up in a neat package with a pretty bow. It was wonderful to know life continued on for these characters with good friends, family and little Gemma at the end had me in happy tears. Kudos to the author. Bravo! 🎉🎉👏👏
- Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2024Fast paced and detailed enough to keep the reader engaged. Only sorry this is the last book of a great series.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2023I started reading this book knowing that I wasn't going to be able to put it down until I was done. Another fantastic book by Dianne Harman. I always try and figure out the who did it. I was surprised at who it was. I laughed and cried at the end.
Thank you Dianne Harman for all the books you write.
