A Touch of Panic: Murder in a Small Town

"Spellbinding . . . Wright tells her fiendish tale in angelic prose" in the Edgar Award–winning crime series—the basis for Fox TV and Hulu's Murder in a Small Town (Toronto Star). "[Wright] can keep up with the best crime writers—even the Ruth Rendells and the P.D. Jameses." —Toronto Sun 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). "An undeniable pleasure with great narrative tension." —Publishers Weekly "A treat . . . the author is unrivaled in her talent for casting an ever-so-light layer of menace over ordinary scenes and situations." —The Star-Phoenix
