Book Description
Parks Pat Mysteries Looking for a police procedural set in picturesque Canada? Let Award-winning and Bestselling Author P.D. Workman take you her favourite Calgary parks, as Métis detective Margie Patenaude investigates a murder in this fast-paced new series. Detective “Parks” Pat — Margie Patenaude — is a new Calgary homicide detective. Being Métis and a single mom, she has a few things on her plate. Working on a spate of murders in Calgary and area parks earns Margie her nickname. These short mysteries are just right for those days when you could use a break from your busy life. Take a walk in a Calgary park with Parks Pat. Out With the Sunset There’s nothing like jumping straight into the deep end. Margie Patenaude is new in town and wasn’t expecting to get called to a murder scene on her daughter’s first day of school. It’s an ugly murder in a beautiful setting. How can Calgary’s park-goers feel safe with a murderer still on the streets—or pathways? Margie and the team are on the case while at the same time she and her daughter try to acclimatize to the new city. If she wants her coworkers to believe that she’s not just a ‘diversity hire,’ she needs to show them what she’s made of and track this killer down. Long Climb to the Top Solving this case is going to be a long climb Detective Pat is called out to another park homicide scene with disturbing similarities to the Fish Creek murder. Digging more deeply into the evidence reveals something even more worrisome. If her instincts are right, this case may hit a little too close to home. Is she just imagining the connections? Or could her family be in real danger? The clock is ticking as Detective Pat homes in on a killer. Dark Water Under the Bridge Parks Pat could be in deep water on this case! Detective “Parks” Pat has made a name for herself in solving the Fish Creek and Glenbow Ranch murders, so she is the one they call when a body turns up in Ralph Klein Park. She would be happy for the confidence placed in her if it weren’t for the fact that the body is in the water. Detective Pat hates the water. She’ll need to get over that if she is going to be able to investigate this case properly. Preferably before the rest of the department figures out her weakness. There is a killer out there to be caught. Somehow she’ll have to get past her block to find him. Investigate this new series today! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I love the blend of homicide investigation (the police procedural element), personal reflection (the personal element of the sole Indigenous detective who is also raising a teenage daughter on her own), and picturesque scenery (the nature element), all of which combine to yield a tantalizing mystery imbued with character, dimension, and authenticity which draws you into the narrative and irrevocably holds your attention right up to the last page. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I love these stories. Short, exciting and not really predictable, as many short stories are. Plots are well-developed, characters are interesting, and there’s plenty of local lore and history.
