Review # 1 was written on 2013-09-18 00:00:00 Tyler Dawson You hear about books that fit a category called 'coming of age'; well this is a book about coming of age at the other end of life's timeline. I really enjoyed the story, the main reason being that I have a home in the very neighbourhood where the mystery takes place. I read this book many years ago but the characters remain strong in my memory. The author has the Sunshine Coast well defined; it is an absolutely beautiful part of the world, quiet and very much a community of artists and retired people who love the outdoors. Sadly I see on her Goodreads page that she has died of breast cancer. I hope to be able to read all of her novels.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-12-07 00:00:00 shawn banks This seems like such a simple story — right from the get go you know who did the murder but like life, nothing is that simple. There's the reason why and that is very complicated: love, protection, anger and frustration. And that's what makes this book very interesting and gripping. Because Karl Alberg is a Mountie in a small town, called out for the death of an elderly man. Who would have a reason to murder him? Why? And why is the story, remember that. From the beginning you know who did the deed but its at the end you find out why. That's what makes it so good. No more to say except to urge you to try it. Its the first Canadian novel to earn an Edgar and its well deserved.
