Reviews

[Margaret Joyce · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a deliciously engaging story. Its idiomatic use of local language and the stunning imagery, let alone the interesting plot, make it a great read! Kudos from a fellow Canadian to H Paul Doucette!! I look forward to he next in the series of Jesse Thompson Case Files Books.
