Canadian author Cathy Spencer writes the award-winning Anna Nolan mystery series, as well as regency and contemporary romance. She is also the author of 2 short-story collections.

Cathy has recently completed a new mystery set in 1927 in Nova Scotia. It features a young woman who's been living the high life at a Toronto nightclub after she completes a Bachelor of Music degree. Suddenly, she's left a large fortune, but she has to live in a small town in Nova Scotia to inherit it. A fish out of water, Evelyn, our heroine, becomes involved with a missing woman case which soon gives her plenty to do.
