    About this audiobook

    Wedding bells, a grisly murder, and a defecting Russian spy bring drama to King’s Cove in the newest Lane Winslow mystery, a series that the Globe and Mail calls “terrific.”

    A wedding is on the horizon for Lane Winslow and Inspector Darling. As one of the few Russian speakers in her community, Lane is obliged to act as translator and hostess for Countess Orlova, an elderly Russian woman who has tracked her missing brother to the Nelson area. Nelson PD investigates, but then the murder of a lone hunter in the hills above King’s Cove takes top priority.

    Darling works the case with a Constable Oxley—a newcomer to the area, assigned in Constable Ames’ temporary absence—and a British agent contacts Lane to warn her to be on the lookout for a fleeing Russian defector. Bound by the Wartime Secrets Act, Lane is conflicted about keeping the information from Darling, especially when it begins to put a strain on their relationship.

    Fans of Maisie Dobbs and the Kopp Sisters will delight in this rousing adventure of intrigue and espionage.

      Another winner. Wonderful characters and well woven mystery. Can't wait to listen to the next one! PS Scribd, the book that comes up ss next in series after finishing this book is not the correct one.

      Another stellar mystery with the excellent heroine Lane Winslow. Great plot, great characters, and it kept me guessing right up till the end. That’s just what I want in a mystery. These mysteries are so well written! It’s a pleasure to read them.

      The more I get into this series I wish there were a hundred more stories not just ten. Well recommended.

      I always enjoy her books, but this one may have had too many plots for me!
