Found: A Body
( Short-listed for the 1992 Arthur Ellis Award for Best ...)
Short-listed for the 1992 Arthur Ellis Award for Best First Novel Bookstore clerk Rosalie Cairns was the one who found the body at the edge of the river; why did that make her a suspect? As the quiet town is rocketed by a series of murders, neighbour distrusts neighbour, and the bookstore, once her refuge, is the centre of intrigue. The evidence against her husband mounts, and Rosalie is forced to join the dangerous hunt for the killer. Not just a slick and hard-boiled mystery, this is a rich study of characters reacting to unexpected horror, and a look into the depths of small town life.

In Her Fifties
( In Her Fifties tells two stories. The narrative portio...)
In Her Fifties tells two stories. The narrative portion is the story of "the fifties." The generation known for suburbia, the Cold War, the implacable authority of School. It tells a story of childhood both universal and individual. The lyric poems section tells the story of a woman of a certain age, in her fifties, long married, beset by memory, buoyed by the sensory awareness of her world, the cottage at the lake, the garden, the ocean. Threatened by storms both natural and political, storms she can neither avoid nor ignore. These poems are "writing it down so the page / will remember for us when we forget" what it is to be here in this place and time.

A Studied Death
( No wonder the university administration is worried: a f...)
No wonder the university administration is worried: a fatal hit and run in the parking lot; a woman jogger drowned in the river. Accidents? Perhaps. But the latest campus death is no accident -- and suicides don't stab themselves several times and then cover themselves up with a raincoat. Despite warnings from her husband and the police, Rosalie Cairnes feels only she can untangle the threads that will lead to the motive and the murderer. And as she nears the truth, her own life is increasingly in danger. Child abuse, the crossfire of radicals and reactionaries on campus, and violence towards women are just some of the ingredients in this fast-paced, tightly plotted and beautifully written novel.
