Salt Spring Island is one of the Gulf Islands in British Columbia. It is a beautiful island surrounded by the Pacific Ocean and filled with forests, farms and lakes. Artisans thrive there. Bed and breakfast abound. It is a delightful setting for a mystery!



In this bucolic setting developers are waiting to seize an opportunity. Environmentalists will do what they can to stop them. And in the midst of this is the annual Salt Spring Island theatre festival. There are mysterious deaths and suspects galore. Constable Danutia Dranchuk and newspaper critic Arthur Fairweather are both suspicious and on the trail of the murderer. Which one will solve the mystery? Or will they join forces to solve it together?

I love reading mystery novels set in the region where I live. Kay Stewart and Chris Bullock have done a wonderful job of bringing Salt Spring Island to life and writing a great tale! Highly recommend this delightful mystery novel.

you can try it but it's flat, very very flat. Climax, what climax.

Moves awfully slow. I couldn't finish it.
