HTML: 2019 recipient of the Derrick Murdoch award from the Crime Writers of Canada Trouble is brewing in the small, bucolic mountain town of Trafalgar, British Columbia. An American who came to Trafalgar as a Vietnam War draft dodger has left land and money to the town. But there's a catch. The money must be used to build a garden to honor draft dodgers. This bequest has torn the close-knit, peaceful town apart. Then the body of a leading garden opponent is found in an alley, dead from a single blow to the head. Constable Molly Smith is assigned to assist veteran Detective Sergeant John Winters in the investigation. But Winters doesn't want the help of the enthusiastic rookie and suspects that he's been assigned Smith for political reasons: her mother, a life-long activist, is the leader of the group arguing for the park. Egged on by a muck-raking TV personality, outside agitators from both sides are soon streaming into Trafalgar. In the meantime, Smith and Winters search through small-town secrets for a killer. .Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

Plus I figured a trip to Trafalgar in the sweltering heat of a North Carolina July would be just the thing.
But this is NOT her usual cozy, and from the get-go was too gritty for me (especially in these already traumatic times). And 50 pages in, I still had not really warmed up to anyone. So, I let it go for now. Maybe I am just in a bad mood, so I might try again later. ( )
