Deadly Appearances

Andy Boychuk is a successful Saskatchewan politician—until one sweltering August afternoon when the party faithful gather at a picnic. All of the key people in Boychuk’ s life—family, friends, enemies —are there. Boychuk steps up to the podium to make a speech, takes a sip of water, and drops dead. Joanne Kilbourn, in her début as Canada’s leading amateur sleuth, is soon on the case, delving into Boychuk’s history. What she finds are a Bible college that’s too good to be true, a woman with a horrifying and secret past, and a murderer who’s about to strike again.
