A Killer in King's Cove
A Lane Winslow Mystery
Description
A clever postwar mystery that will appeal to fans of the Maisie Dobbs series by Jacqueline Winspear or the Bess Crawford series by Charles Todd. It is 1946, and war-weary young ex-intelligence officer Lane Winslow leaves London to look for a fresh start. When she finds herself happily settled into a sleepy hamlet in the interior of British Columbia surrounded by a suitably eclectic cast of small-town characters, she feels like she may finally be able to put her past to rest.

I’m already planning to read it again . . . Whishaw is an exciting addition to Canada’s fine roster of mystery writers. "
