Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Read along with the new TV drama, streaming now on FOX TV and Hulu! For fans of Louise Penny's Chief Inspector Gamache Mysteries. "Wright is a master of the psychological thriller."--Booklist It's midsummer in British Columbia, and it's murderously hot.  For Karl Alberg, that becomes more than a metaphor when he discovers a body on the beach, fresh from a fatal plunge into the icy waves. Back home in the town of Sechelt, chief of police Alberg almost begins to yearn for his days as a big-city cop when summer heat brings out the small-town crazies -- such as a volatile petting zoo owner who is irate after recent vandalism.  Meanwhile, Alberg's personal life also threatens to boil over. Not only is his daughter visiting, but his ex-wife is getting married again. Weaving together strands of Alberg's personal life, the oppressiveness of a Pacific Northwest summer heatwave, and the latent danger lingering around small-town life, J.R. Wright yet again delivers an atmospheric mystery in the Murder In A Small Town series' fourth novel. "Alberg continues to be a most appealing protagonist -- akin to P.D. James' Dalgliesh and Ruth Rendell's Wexford, but with a quintessentially Canadian voice."--Publishers Weekly.…

Paperback. Etat : Good. A comedy of manners and the odd dead bodyLondon is full of clubs. The Garrick, for example, caters to those with theatrical inclinations, the Athenaeum to eggheads. But the Asterisk may have the strictest membership regulations: Acquitted murderers only.Happily, Benjamin Cann fits the brief. Sure, he strangled Rachel Bolger with a length of pongee silk, but the jury thought different, so while Benji's old landlord may not want him back, the Asterisk gang?suave Clifford Flush (pushed ladies off trains), Mitteleuropean sexpot Lilli Cluj (crushed her husband with a bumper-car), et al.?offers a warm welcome. Benji doesn't love the thought of sharing digs with people more than usually inclined to poison the sherry, but the motherly Mrs. Barratt (dosed Mr. B with ground glass) is delighted. So nice to have fresh blood. And it will be such fun to watch him meet the neighbors.…

Paperback. Etat : Good. The ninth and final book in the Alberg & Cassandra series makes a wonderfully elegant end to the saga of the tiny town on Canada's Sunshine Coast, the policeman who tries to catch the town's baddies, and the sensual, smart-mouthed librarian he loves. Alberg and Cassandra are at long last getting married--in fact, they're hitched by the end of the book--and Alberg has a new sergeant, a beautiful and enigmatic woman who seems destined, clearly, for her own series of adventures. But don't be fooled by all the sunshine: Sechelt harbors more dead bodies than any small town outside of Cabot Cove, and the serial killer who's busy knocking off the residents--and their children!--is one of the darkest characters in the Alberg canon. It's always hard to say goodbye, but this series ends on a brilliant and supremely satisfying note.…
