In The Weeds

Cat and mouse thriller played out in Niagara's vibrant wine and culinary scene.

Discover where it all began for Lucy Gauthier, in her first case as a police constable.

Raymond Ellis, the creative, award-winning and arrogant chef of Thorny Rose, is reported missing. Niagara Police Detective Wright relentlessly pursues the investigation, unravelling a web of lies and secrets held tight within the community of vintners, foragers, artisanal growers and members of a feminist farming collective.

From the seductive ingénue pastry chef who insists chef was murdered, to the apple farmer so enraged he'd have happily done it, there is no shortage of suspects, but the chef's wife Rose denies her husband is missing. In a series of twists Rose moves to protect herself and what matters most, whatever the cost.

In the Weeds is a tense cat and mouse, perfect for DC Lucy Gauthier thriller fans and new readers of the bestselling Niagara Noir Series.
