Murder - On Salt Spring?

by Sandy Graham

How can there be serious crime on this small island? Too hard to escape with only a ferry and besides, everyone knows everyone else. Gossip makes every secret common knowledge in minutes.

Yet, Carl Jenson is found in bed with a hunting knife sticking out of his chest.

Big city detective Mattie Carlyle is sent out to help laid back Cal Lockhart investigate the murder. Can their conflicting styles find common ground? Knocking heads one moment, feeling a strong attraction the next, will either prevail? And can the murderer be discovered? With Carl’s home-wrecking background, should it even be called murder—or maybe retribution?

About the author

I have a passion for creating that ranges from invention and design of airplane systems to computer program development to design and building a house to writing vignettes, short stories, and novels. My novels are emotion packed, sometimes heart wrenching, often heartwarming, fast paced, hard to put down yet educational in a variety of ways.

Reviews

[Sandy Graham · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book combines mystery and romance with an insider's view of life on a tiny British Columbia island in 1952. In some respects it is a study of crime and punishment. Colorful characters and a high emotional content make for a quick and pleasurable read. I think it's great but then again, I wrote it. The real question is what do you think?
