A hit-and-run driver kills a pedestrian one cold winter's night in Calgary, Alberta. The car's owner insists he wasn't driving. Insurance investigator Paula Savard sympathizes with the elderly man until she discovers his disturbing history and connection to the victim.
Paula unearths family secrets that go back thirty years. The elderly man blames the dead woman for tearing his family apart. But others had access to his car and reasons to wish the victim dead. Paula becomes convinced the hit and run was murder, but who was driving?
A startling confession leads the police to make an arrest. Paula fears they will convict an innocent person. She digs deeper, unaware she's on a collision course with a desperate killer consumed with vengeance and rage.
These reviews are for Book One of my series, A Deadly Fall and might not be relevant to this current book # 3, Winter's Rage)
A pointedly nuanced debut novel, Deadly Fall sparkles with tone and energy that set the pace, a concise storyline, and edgy dialogue that moves the story forward...a debut worth reading and a possible series with insurance claims providing a minefield of potential stories. -- Don Graves, Hamilton Spectator
Paula is an intelligent, determined, often critical (though in a good way) yet still compassionate sleuth, who is front and center in this mystery debut. She's a solidly developed character, one readers will want to get to know better, with an interesting supporting cast, which should serve her well in subsequent books. With possibly a new profession in hand, and her first case behind her, readers will look forward to seeing how she fares. -- Mysterious Reviews
