Chapman handles this style smoothly and it's very effective in moving the story along. She is a skilled writer with nine books already under her belt. </p>-- "Mysterymaven.ca"<br><br>Cold Mourning maintains its low-key feel just long enough to sneak up on you with its grit and promise.-- "National Post"<br><br>Cold Mourning marks the promising beginning of a new series of stories built around complex, yet engaging, characters.-- "Ottawa Review of Books"<br><br>What makes this mystery most interesting are the tightly knit details. Chapman never tips her hand as she presents readers with a wide-open field of suspects. For the majority of the novel, the list of potential culprits is lengthy, and the author skillfully deploys twists and decoys to misdirect us, while also dropping tiny clues to help make the final reveal seem perfectly logical.-- "Quill & Quire"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Brenda Chapman is a crime writer who has published over twenty books, including seven in the lauded Stonechild and Rouleau Mystery series. She lives in Ottawa.
