The Jane Bunker Mystery series by Linda Greenlaw follows Jane Bunker, a marine insurance investigator who relocates to the fictional town of Green Haven, Maine, and quickly discovers that the quiet coastal community has its share of crime. The series draws on Greenlaw’s own decades of experience in Maine’s fishing communities.
Starting with Slipknot (2007), the four novels combine cozy mystery plots with detailed descriptions of life on the Maine coast. Jane is a practical, capable protagonist whose insurance work naturally brings her into contact with suspicious deaths, missing boats, and small-town secrets. The series picks up again after a nine-year gap with Shiver Hitch (2017) and Bimini Twist (2018), bringing Jane back for two more cases. Readers who enjoy mysteries set in tight-knit coastal towns will find Greenlaw’s firsthand knowledge of the setting gives these books an authentic feel.
