    The Awan Lake Series

    By Peter Kingsmill

    ()

    About this series

    Former Coast Guard Boatswain Frank Anderson knows stuff about boats. When the local cops ask for his help to recover two university students who have died violently in a small boat accident, he tells them he's damn sure the deaths were not the result of negligence. The collision was deliberate and the crime was murder.

    For the second time this summer, Anderson finds himself patching together a network of cops, local leaders and talented young women to find the motive for this murder. But it won't stop there: eight more people will lose their lives before the students' deaths are avenged, and before an evil mining corporation is brought to its knees.

    Fans of American-Canadian author John Irving will feel at home with Kingsmill's work.You will want to buy this book if you like stories about ordinary people in small communities. Nobody Drowned is the second novel in the Awan Lake series and is a "thrilling novel, a great story, and well-written. I would highly recommend it to others and would not hesitate to read more by Peter Kingsmill." (NetGalley Reviewer) RATED PG in Canada and USA

      Frank Anderson fixes stuff. He can fix porch swings for the ladies and boat motors for the guys, any day and all day. But can he fix the fear in the eyes of a pretty woman? Anderson hadn't even met Marjorie Webster before she turned up on his doorstep that evening to say she has run into a body out on Awan Lake. Helping the police recover the corpse the next day leads both of them into a fourteen-day search for answers. As the lake becomes the centre of a web of conflict, environmental activists, international criminals and murder, the answers lead to more problems.   Fans of American-Canadian author John Irving will feel at home with Kingsmill's work. Sunset at 20:47 is the first novel in the author's Awan Lake series: "In this, his first novel, Peter Kingsmill develops an intimate portrait of, apparently, a fictional lakeside village," comments a Goodreads reviewer. "Awan Lake is as real to me now as any of my own favourite places, and he's inhabited it with characters just as compelling. 5 stars!"   RATED PG in Canada and USA.
