Murder casts a dark shadow over Canada's Sunshine Coast in this Edgar Award-winning crime series--the basis for the Fox TV and Hulu series Murder in a Small Town. Gordon Murphy has a Midas touch for business, but he�s all thumbs when it comes to love. So Sergeant Karl Alberg isn�t too concerned when Murphy sets his sights on Karl�s girlfriend Cassandra. These days the happy couple share both a bed and a bed and breakfast. Besides, Alberg has some actual policing problems to contend with: a stolen coin collection, a hapless would-be burglar, local worthies hollering about the state of a fellow citizen�s front yard. It all sounds charming and cozy. But Alberg�s Sechelt, British Colombia, is no Cabot Cove. L.R. Wright, the �master of the psychological thriller,� once again demonstrates her talent for getting at the dark roots under the roses (Booklist, on Mother Love).
