I think this book is my favourite of the Lane Winslow series. Wonderfully written, with multiple mysteries intertwining in unexpected ways. I loved it.

Iona has further opened up the world of King's Cove by bringing in Canada's shameful history of First Nations erasure. In the afterward she explains her careful research into the history and cultural practices of the Lakes People, and you can really see it come through in the thoughtful way she wrote one of the central characters in the story. I really hope he comes back in future books.
