Detective Margie “Parks Pat” Patenaude did not expect to be the first one on the scene at a gruesome accidental death when a walk with Stella took a sudden turn for the worse. The below-grade pedestrian crossing was supposed to prevent such things, but the homeless man encamped up the slope apparently had his own ideas.

I feel like I’m visiting Calgary, Canada and the parks where the murders are taking place in all three books so far. There are vivid descriptions of the park and the wetlands. Margie and her family are woven throughout along with their ancestry which adds a nice touch.
—Joanne, Goodreads

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.

I never thought I would like a police procedural but I do.

Bowness Park and Pearce Estate Park were two of the first places that my husband and I went together, enjoying firesides and activities with friends.

When we were homeschooling, we spent a lot of time at Pearce Estate Park walking the trails, watching the animals, and watching medieval reenactment players sword fighting. The poplar trees produce copious bright yellow crunchy leaves and are beautiful in the fall.

When I worked downtown, I biked home through Pearce Estate Park. During that time the Harvie Passage was built to replace the weir and make the river safer for rafters.

We experienced a hundred-year flood that flooded much of the zoo, Inglewood, and the Inglewood Bird Sanctuary. The water reached the bottom of the train bridge deck and we could not get downtown for a week.
