More about the book
Joanne Kilbourn anticipates a peaceful weekend at the lake with her children and new grandchild, but chaos erupts in Regina, Saskatchewan, when a young colleague from her university is found murdered in the library. Ariel Warren, a beloved lecturer, is violently killed, shocking the tight-knit academic community. Kevin Coyle, a professor previously accused of sexual harassment, believes the murder is linked to his case, while Ariel’s partner, Charlie Dowhanuik, appears to implicate himself during his radio show comments on the day of the crime. Concerned about Charlie's reckless statements, his father, Howard, seeks Joanne's assistance. However, before she can investigate, she faces backlash from militant feminists on campus when a vigil for Ariel turns into a heated protest against violence toward women. Many attendees are convinced they know the murderer and are seeking retribution. Joanne's blend of personal family dynamics and her knack for unraveling complex murder mysteries has garnered her a loyal following, further cemented by television adaptations featuring Wendy Crewson. This seventh installment in the series presents readers with a thought-provoking and engaging mystery.
