This mystery has been on my ebook shelf for a while. It's set on BC's Sunshine Coast where my sister-in-law lives. The first time we went I thought, this would be the perfect setting for a murder mystery. Turned out I was not the first to have that idea. 😉
A solid mystery, the killer is revealed on page 1. As the story unfolds, you follow RCMP staff sergeant Karl Alberg put it together. Good characters, good setting, good pace. Author was 👇

merelybookish Apparently was dubbed once Canada's ?? "Queen of Crime Fiction." (Pre-Louise Penny ?). Coincidentally, it's just been turned into a tv series: Murder in a Small Town. Anyhoo, always enjoy a mystery at Xmas time. Unfortunately meets no criteria for #ChristmasCrimeChallenge unless 1984 counts as historical. ? @RaeLovesToRead 7d
LeahBergen You‘ve just reminded me that I want to watch that series! I was talking about it with MY Sunshine Coast sister-in-law this summer. 😆 7d
merelybookish @LeahBergen Yes, curious to watch it now too! 6d

@Scochrane26 - I'm your #JolabokaflodSwap match this year!!! I mailed your package earlier this week, but in typical Sarah-Style did not actually notate on the envelope anywhere that it was a Litsy package or who it was from 😂 So be on the lookout for a blue padded envelope from Ohio - that's your Swap gift!!! Merry Christmas!!

@MaleficentBookDragon thanks so much for hosting - I love this simple swap!!

Enjoyable listen as an epilogue to the story begun in Moon of the Crusted Snow. This duology is not an action packed zombie type apocalyptic thriller, instead it is a description of a people reconnecting with the roots of their culture, one other, and nature “after the world goes dark.” I love how the collapse of civilization is largely a mystery and what few details emerge are fuzzy, but uncomfortably ordinary & and thus rather realistic.

Tamra I read the inspiration for the story comes from a true event, which was a wide spread power outage impacting the states and provinces. 😅 2w
Tamra I had to laugh though, how on earth were they drinking lake and river water without getting sick?! 😜 That‘s no no #1. (edited) 2w

Such a great book! A story that follows 5 survivors of Indian residential schools. I was tearing up so much as their individual stories unraveled. Such a dark part of history.

I decided to squeeze in 1 more book for #foodandlit this month. This novella is based on the true story of Chanie Wenjack, a Native American boy who was taken from his family to one of Ontario‘s residential schools in the 1960s. The story alternates chapters between Chanie, who runs away from school with 2 friends, & various animals who watch over Chanie on his journey in the freezing winter. A heartbreaking story that will stick with you. 5⭐️

Catsandbooks Fantastic! 🇨🇦 4w
