SPLINTER THE SILENCE

Val McDERMID. SPLINTER THE SILENCE. HarperCollins, 2019. 

I am so happy to have been introduced to this Scots crime writer equally as entertaining as Ian Rankin, and with female protagonists too. My selections have been in the Carol Jordan /Tony Hill series. In this one, Carol finishes re-doing the barn, gets arrested for drunk driving, and heads the new re-MIT major incident (crime) team. As a practice-run, they uncover a previously unknown serial killer. 




SCARBOROUGH

Catherine Hernandez. SCARBOROUGH. Arsenal, 2017.

Winner of CBC Canada Reads this year, 2022. Voices of students, parents, teachers, and administrators in a Toronto suburb. Although I am not usually a fan of stories told from a child's POV, this book is the exception. Revealing and moving.



Evelyn Evelyn

Palmer and Webley. EVELYN EVELYN. Dark Horse Books, 2011. 

A graphic novel about the unfortunate life of Siamese twin girls, Americans, who end up in Manitoba.
