In the mood for an idyllic escape? Death on the Rocks will transport you right to the sunshine coast, where a community theatre event finds its members dying, and only senior citizen sleuth Suzanne must use her experience and intuition to follow the all too human twists to the real killer, before the company runs out of understudies.

Delightful summer read!

- Iona Whishaw, best-selling author of the Lane Winslow mystery series.

Every amateur detective secretly believes they are smarter than the police. Suzanne Rickson doesn't think that. She has faith in Sergeant Bridges' assessment that the director of their seniors’ theatre troupe, the beloved Wilbur Ghostkeeper, most likely slipped and perished on the rocky shoreline of the Salish Sea.

But Suzanne quickly regrets her naïveté after Wilbur’s widow is violently robbed and assaulted.

The wedding was perfect. The body ruined everything.

Interior designer turned amateur sleuth Minna Halonen has finally hit her stride. Hygge House is thriving, and she and business partner Christie Andersson are pulling out all the stops for Lakewood's most anticipated wedding — a dreamy Midsummer celebration with Nordic feasting, a lakeside bonfire, and flower-strewn gardens glowing in the golden northern light.

Then the groom's favourite uncle vanishes before the rehearsal dinner.

When Minna finds Uncle Rick slumped lifeless in a Muskoka chair, it's clear this wasn't just a man who wanted to skip the speeches. His last message was cryptic. His reasons for avoiding the wedding, it turns out, were very good ones.

With a grieving family, a rattled bride and groom, and her business reputation on the line, Minna must once again trade her decorator's instincts for detective work — before a killer slips away under the cover of Midsummer night.

Perfect for fans of cozy mysteries with warm settings, charming characters, and just enough chill to keep you turning pages.

Sam Wiebe’s gripping sixth Wakeland novel delivers a taut, atmospheric mystery that dives into corruption, crime and family secrets deeply rooted in Vancouver’s underworld.

On a dark night in False Creek, a distraught young woman jumps from the Granville Bridge. PI Dave Wakeland rescues Nicola Havoc from the water. Yet what seems like attempted suicide is even more sinister: Nicola is running away from someone. But who?

Soon Wakeland and his partner Jeff Chen are pulled into a case that leads from Vancouver’s back alleys to the hills of the Fraser Valley. Nicola may hold the key to unlocking a billion-dollar construction scandal and a gun-running ring—if Wakeland can protect her from her own violent family.
