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.

Book Description
From USA Today Bestselling Author, P.D. Workman! If Reg was going to kill Corvin, she would have done so before now. As much as she might dislike the warlock who has been a thorn in her side ever since moving to Black Sands, she has never tried to kill him. Well, except maybe that one time. But if she did want Corvin dead, she certainly wouldn’t do it by sneaking into his house at night and attempting to stab him as he slept. Or to try to poison him after that. Why can't the police accept that and just move on with their investigation? As the likelihood of arrest and incarceration increases, Reg realizes that she had better identify the actual murderer (or rather, attempted killer) before it is too late. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Just when I think Ms. Workman can’t possibly think up anything different for this series, she delivers big time. —Sandy, Goodreads Reviewer ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This addictive and delightful series delivers everything you might hope for in a great paranormal cozy. I love the variety of wonderful characters, the detailed world-building, the imaginative stories full of whimsy and magic and, of course, the fabulous fact that both the main character and her cat are psychic.—Kim, Goodreads Reviewer Like paranormal mysteries?

Gabriel has dealt with mysterious medical issues his whole life. Just when he finally thought that they had all of the answers and he was on the road to good health, he is apprehended by DFS on the grounds of medical neglect. At first, he thought that he would be back home in a few days, once the misunderstanding was cleared up. But when Renata tells Gabriel her crazy conspiracy theories, Gabriel feels the first pangs of doubt. Is there really a conspiracy? Will he ever be able to get well and go back to his mother, or is he doomed to be another guinea pig for Doctor De Klerk? ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️The plot was FANTASTIC. I've read a lot of stories about foster children, but never anything quite like what happens in Mito. I never even realized that medical kidnap could very well be a thing happening "behind the scenes" in foster care, but after reading this book my mind is blown. I just. Wow. I don't want to go into a whole lot of detail so I think I might stop this review here, but, gah. I can't even form words I'm so freaking mind blown. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️This book was amazing!! Looking for something new in young adult literature? A fast-paced adventure with diverse characters that will keep you turning the pages. Follow Gabriel and Renata as they fight against an unfair and corrupt system, trying to save themselves and others from doctors, social workers, and judges who are more interested in profit than justice and the safety of their charges. --- young adult, ya lit, medical suspense, medical mystery, medical thriller, medical kidnap, teen, social issues, health, mental health, mental illness, disability, foster care, abuse, neglect, conspiracy, family

I don't want to go into a whole lot of detail so I think I might stop this review here, but, gah. I can't even form words I'm so freaking mind blown. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️This book was amazing!! Looking for something new in young adult literature? A fast-paced adventure with diverse characters that will keep you turning the pages. Follow Gabriel and Renata as they fight against an unfair and corrupt system, trying to save themselves and others from doctors, social workers, and judges who are more interested in profit than justice and the safety of their charges. --- young adult, ya lit, medical suspense, medical mystery, medical thriller, medical kidnap, teen, social issues, health, mental health, mental illness, disability, foster care, abuse, neglect, conspiracy, family
