About this listen

In the Shadow of the Glacier introduces a new traditional mystery series set in a bucolic mountain town in British Columbia and featuring young constable Molly Smith.

Trouble is brewing in the small town of Trafalgar. Constable Smith nearly stumbles over a body, the victim of a murder. The deceased was a highly unpopular newcomer who had big plans for developing a luxury resort outside of town.

Smith throws herself into solving the case, in part to build her career on the force and to win the approval of her parents. She is also hoping to impress her new supervisor, Sergeant John Winters, newly arrived from the city of Vancouver, who has brought along his own set of personal problems.

Critic Reviews

"[An] intriguing series opener....Delany carefully sets up the conflicts, resolving most but not all in anticipation of the next assignment, and begins what looks to be some extensive character development." (Publishers Weekly)

I enjoyed this mystery. It has a very nice lead in Molly Smith and the mystery itself was good. I did find the narrator a bit on the dull side but I intend to get the second book in the series. Was able to buy the book on special and it was worth the $5 spent.

Enjoyable First Book
