Synopsis: The quaint dramas of colorful locals turn dark indeed in this crime thriller set along Canada&’s Sunshine Coast by the Edgar Award–winning author. Gordon Murphy has a Midas touch for business, but he&’s all thumbs when it comes to love. So Sergeant Karl Alberg isn&’t too concerned when Murphy sets his sights on Karl&’s girlfriend Cassandra. These days the happy couple share both a bed and a bed and breakfast. Besides, Alberg has some actual policing problems to contend with: a stolen coin collection, a hapless would-be burglar, local worthies hollering about the state of a fellow citizen&’s front yard. It all sounds charming and cozy. But Alberg&’s Sechelt, British Colombia, is no Cabot Cove. L.R. Wright, the &“master of the psychological thriller,&” once again demonstrates her talent for getting at the dark roots under the roses (Booklist, on Mother Love).
