- Synopsis
- A debut mystery of small-town intrigue from the award-winning author. &“Gripping . . . a satisfying and nicely-paced page turner.&” —The Telegram Set in the fictional town of Paddy&’s Arm, Newfoundland, Alice Walsh&’s debut mystery novel is at once harrowing and homey, equal parts police procedural and diner gossip. When Claire and Bram&’s only child dies suddenly, it at first appears to be a case of crib death. But when the real cause of death indicates homicide and Claire is arrested as the number-one suspect, her friend, lawyer Lauren LaVallee, promises she&’ll do everything she can to prove Claire&’s innocence. As Lauren combs Paddy&’s Arm for suspects, amid department politics and small-town talk, leads abound. Why are professors Frances and Annabelle being so secretive about their adopted daughter? What&’s behind a troubled student&’s sudden disappearance? And who is the mysterious platinum blonde observed at the scene of the crime? Meanwhile, Lauren&’s own secret—a case that almost cost her her career back in Montreal—and the sudden return of an ex-lover who wants back in her life, threaten to overwhelm the investigation altogether. &“Alice Walsh manages to throw in a variety of plot-points that are rather unique to the genre and which don&’t normally tend to appear in mystery/thrillers; adding another layer to the story, making it stand out from its peers and adding a touch more gossipy intrigue and excitement.&” —Reminders of the Changing Time
