Description
The second instalment in the Lane Winslow mystery series; for fans of the Maisie Dobbs and Bess Crawford series.
On a snowy day in December 1946, Lane Winslowâa former British intelligence agent whoâs escaped to the rural Canadian community of Kingâs Cove in pursuit of a tranquil lifeâis introduced to the local hot springs. While there she overhears nearby patrons speaking Russian. When one of those patrons is found dead in the change room, Laneâs linguistic and intelligence experience is of immeasurable value to the local police force in solving the murder.
The investigation points to the Soviet Union, where Stalinâs purges are eliminating enemies, and the reach of Stalinâs agent snakes all the way into a harmless Doukhobor community. Winslowâs complicated relationship with the local police inspector, Darling, is intensified by the perils of the caseâand by the discovery of her own fatherâs death during the war.
The case comes to a frantic and shocking end with a perilous nighttime journey along treacherous snow-covered roads.
âIona Whishaw is an exciting addition to Canadaâs fine roster of mystery writers. Iâm already planning to read [Killer in Kingâs Cove] again, and this time Iâll read the teaser for Whishawâs next novel provided at the end. A debut mystery by an author destined for awards.â âDon Graves, Canadian Mystery Reviews blog
