If you haven't been reading the Lane Winslow Mystery series by Iona Whishaw, I urge you to do so. Start with A Killer in King's Cove. If you have been reading them then you'll be happy to know the newest one is out! (It seems to take about a year). I love how the author includes a lot of history in her books. (Be sure to read the notes at the back). There's been a fire, at a local restaurant, owned by Italians (remember, these books are set just after WWII). Is it arson? Is prejudice the motive? The local book store was broken into, but carefully, with a minimal amount of damage, and just a few books were taken. Which ones, and why? There is the arrival, too, of an Indigenous man, looking for the homes of his ancestors. (You'll learn about how the Crown treated these people). And then there's the body found in a shallow grave. These elements and more all tie together to make Framed in Fire impossible for me to put down, so consider yourself warned!
