Publisher Description
From the #1 bestselling author of Indians on Vacation, Sufferance and 77 Fragments of a Familiar Ruin
For the first time since the pandemic, Thumps DreadfulWater has finally found some peace in small-town Chinook. Sure, his beloved cat is still missing and his relationship with Claire is more than uncertain, but at least he can relax in the comfort of his home. And now that local businesses are opening their doors again, everything can go back to the way it was.
But when Thumps discovers a body at the bottom of a treacherous canyon, he becomes entangled once again in an inexplicable mystery. And as more puzzling details come to the surface, Thumps begins to question whom he can truly trust—especially when an unexpected visitor walks back into his life.
In the follow-up to Obsidian, a Globe and Mail Favourite of 2020, Thumps DreadfulWater returns once more with wit and wry humour to solve a mystery that only Thomas King could create.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
After surviving run-ins with serial killers and a deadly pandemic, Thumps DreadfulWater—a former California cop who’s retired to the northern town of Chinook—is ready for some time off. But that’s not in the cards in Thomas King‘s exciting murder mystery. Thumps’ photography (and his messy personal life) will have to wait, since a body has just been discovered in the nearby canyon known as Deep House. King‘s signature quippy dialogue vividly captures the nosy camaraderie of small-town life. It was easy to picture ourselves sitting on the stool next to Thumps at Al’s Diner, helping him get to the bottom of the case. King keeps us speculating (and chuckling) with his colourful cast, using humour to navigate larger questions that the case stirs up around politics, the environment, and the future of small-town Main Streets. Lighthearted but loaded with action, this instalment of the DreadfulWater Mysteries is a terrific whodunit.
