More About the Book
“A writer to watch.”
"An author destined for awards . . . Whishaw is an exciting addition to Canada’s fine roster of mystery writers."
"The writing . . . conjur[es] up nicely the ambiance of a 1940s west Canadian locale and develop[s] in depth both the characters and their interactions."
"A Killer in King’s Cove is worth a look, especially as the author intends to reprise her lead character."
Lonestar librarians across Canada have voted Death in a Darkening Mist one of the ten hottest April releases.
The late L.R. Wright’s marvellous mysteries set on British Columbia’s Sunshine Coast remain some of my favourite Canadian books. But this second novel by Iona Whishaw, also set in B.C., is every bit as good . . . [an] excellent chapter in what appears to be a terrific series.
"Set in 1946, this series cleverly combines both elements of a cozy and a spy thriller, with a heroine who is tough and independent, but harboring secrets of her own . . . The local townspeople are quirky and a nice addition, reminding the reader of another Canadian writer, Louise Penny, who populates her town with interesting characters . . . a series I hope to continue reading."
