Synopsis

Stunned by the abrupt end to her marriage, Sara Wolesley abandons her comfortable life in Toronto and with her daughters in tow, takes possession of a rundown Quebec cottage on a frozen lake. But a life of solitude is not the idyll Sara imagined it would be. The ice is clear that year, like black cellophane stretching as far as the eye can see. They got lucky the police said later. If there'd been snow they might never have found her body. But they did find her even after Sara lost her bearings and couldn't remember exactly where she saw the little girl floating beneath her feet. Caught in a reed bed, her blonde hair drifting about her head, her eyes open and her mouth parted as if to say something. Her name was Oralee Pelletier and she has been missing for five months. First book in the Gatineau Hills Mystery series.

About this title

From the Author:

The setting is the villages and wilderness places of Quebec with all the limitations a rural society enjoys and puts up with. Homicide in this neck of the woods is not solved by high tech law enforcement, but by the deductive genius of Detective Sergeant Rompré. The mystery lies not only in "who done it," but "why done it". How are lives transformed by the heartbreak, betrayal and loss that is the fruit of violent crime? Is forgiveness and redemption possible? The murder is just the beginning.

From the Inside Flap:
