Summary:"Though it's chilly for most Canadians, Staff Sergeant Karl Alberg sees nothing but sunshine. Cassandra Mitchell seems to treat both the town of Sechelt and Alberg's bed as a revolving door, popping in and out as she pleases. But she's graced Alberg with her presence once more, and he couldn't be more pleased. While Alberg is more or less the police chief, things have been smooth sailing for him lately. The biggest problem on hand is the spitfire old woman who has escaped from her retirement home. Unfortunately, clouds are on the horizon for Alberg. A few miles away lives Zoe Strachan, the town's newest resident--the kind of woman tempting enough to get away with murder. When her brother has a nasty fall down her basement stairs and dies, Zoe seems to have law enforcement eating out of the palm of her hand. Alberg isn't so easy to fool, but something about this case has him off his game"--

Wright ("Bunny" to her family and friends) was best known for her celebrated mystery series set in a little town on Western Canada's Sunshine Coast, featuring Karl Alberg of the Canadian police. In 1986 the first book in the series, The Suspect , won the Edgar Award for Best Novel of the Year, making Wright the first Canadian to be so honored. Two other books in the series- A Chill Rain in January and Mother Love -won Arthur Ellis Awards (now the Crime Writers of Canada Awards of Excellence). Wright died in 2001, and in 2024 the Alberg & Cassandra series was adapted for television as Murder In a Small Town .
