Beneath a Bitter Sky

By Rayne May

For mystery writer, Effie Dalrymple, middle-age is anything but easy. Although plagued by a difficult menopause, heart palpitations and hot flashes don’t dampen her enthusiasm for crime and detection. After Effie finds the body of a young woman in the bushes next door, she and new neighbour Desmond Thomas team up to solve the murder. Amid a backdrop of Lake Erie’s gorgeous south coast, Effie and Desmond delve into the past to uncover the truth about the lakeshore’s lost communities.
