A Taste of Northern Spies: A Dorothea Montgomery Mystery

Viac o knihe

An unconscious body beside the railway tracks. Police chasing whiskey runners through the park of a neighbouring town. A mysterious paper. A stolen bike. A stranger hired-on-the-spot at the town's bakery. And then ... an American visitor discovered dead in his hotel suite. Are any of these events connected? Prohibition looks to be winding down in Dorothea Montgomery's Canadian province but has the ugly world of illegal alcohol sales come to her apparently law abiding town? Dorothea is asked to put her "noticing" skills to work to answer these questions. And then there is the poignant issue of young hearts in love along with the knotty problem: does one include murder suspects in one's family celebrations? In this second book of the Dorothea Montgomery series, readers re-visit the 1920's town of Willowsdown and follow Dorothea as she unravels the skein of seemingly unrelated events with her usual gently humour, wisdom and insight.
