    The Randy Craig Mysteries Series

    By Janice MacDonald

    ()

    About this series

    Anxiety is the watchword at most school reunions, with side-eye comparisons of greying hair and extra pounds around the belly. Not our Randy Craig. She's more concerned with resolving a 20 year old CanLit scandal and catching a ruthless killer. While helping her best friend Denise organize their 20 year reunion at the University of Alberta, Randy's tumultuous past as a graduate student comes rushing into the present as she faces off against old ghosts and imminent death. 


    Another Margaret is both Janice MacDonald's first and sixth installment in her wildly popular Randy Craig series set in Edmonton, Alberta. Embedded in this latest adventure is Janice MacDonald's very first, now out of print, Randy Craig mystery.


    This is going to be the yummiest reunion. It's as if we all went to grad school with Jessica Fletcher!

      How dangerous can words be? The University of Alberta's English Department is caught up in a maelstrom of poison-pen letters, graffiti and misogyny. Miranda Craig seems to be both target and investigator, wreaking havoc on her new-found relationship with one of Edmonton's Finest. The men's residence at the U of A wants to party and issues invitations to the women's residence, each with specific and terrifying consequences if female students don't attend. One of Randy's star students, a divorced mother of two, has her threatening letter published in the newspaper and is found soon after, a brutal murder followed to the gory letter of the published note. With the help of dashing Officer Steve Browning, Randy Craig must delve into Gwen's life and preserve her own to solve this mystery. Who is trying to kill Randy--an untenured professor? An unknown student? Gwen's killer?

      You're being watched. Former University of Alberta lecturer Randy Craig is now working part-time at Edmonton's Grant MacEwan College, and struggling to make ends meet. That is, until she takes an evening job monitoring a chat room called Babel for an employer she knows only as "Chatgod." Between shutting down an online bookie and patrolling for porn, Randy begins to suspect a connection between a Texas woman having an online affair through Babel, and surfacing reports of a man killed at his computer in the same state. Soon, Randy realizes that a killer is brokering hits through Babel and may be operating in Edmonton. The police are sceptical, as is Chatgod, and it seems Randy's only ally is a mysterious fellow monitor who calls himself Alchemist. Randy doesn't know whom she can trust, but the killer is on to her, and now she must figure out where the psychopath is, all the while staying one IP address ahead of becoming the next victim.

    Janice has been writing for as long as she can remember. She's always kept a diary and still does. She says it's fascinating to look back to a specific day and year and see exactly what she did that day. She admits she's not compulsive about very much else, but says she writes in her diary on a daily basis. Janice majored in journalism at California State University, Long Beach, and worked as a reporter on a number of small and short-lived weekly papers for several years before deciding that there had to be more reliable, maybe even lucrative, ways to make a living. She switched to public relations in the early 1980s and eventually became director of media relations for a large west coast HMO. In that capacity, she had the memorable experience of saying no to Mike Wallace when the 60 Minutes crew showed up one day. She left the corporate world in 1990 and freelanced for a number of publications including the Los Angeles Times. She also ghost-wrote numerous medical articles for various professional journals. Today she combines fiction and nonfiction writing and works from her home in Vista, California, where she lives with her husband on three acres with an ever-changing cast of animals, including a pygmy goat. Most recently Janice has discovered the joys of living on the water. During the week, she's been staying on a Columbia 26-foot sailboat docked in Long Beach Marina, using her laptop and cell phone to work and keep in touch. Janice has two grown children, Christopher, who lives in Washington, and Carolyn, who is building a home in Flagstaff. She also has a granddaughter, Emily.
