Or will it turn into something much more sinister?“One of the best mysteries from Canada in some time, this fourth book in a strong series is equally good at capturing the atmosphere of New Orleans and the distinctive qualities of Montreal.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review“Farrow has written an excellent thriller in which characters, plot, and setting score a triple for suspense.” —Library Journal, starred review“Farrow brings a literary fiction writer’s sensitivity to nuance and feel for landscape to this fine, character-rich thriller with a bang-up finish.
