A killer bridge?

Be careful what you wish for!

City Hall wanted the death of Samuel Keller to be anything but an accident. Confederation Park had seen too many tragedies lately and did not need another added to the tally.

But Detective “Parks Pat” Patenaude had not been expecting to find evidence of murder.

Sometimes an accident is just an accident.

But sometimes it’s not.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The story has a good flow and details and descriptions that help me visualize the area, the park, the people and the crime. Once again, her grandfather imparts his wisdom and we get to see their family dynamics. There are twists and turns to the story until the whodunnit is revealed. There is closure and the story is wrapped up nicely.

I am enjoying this new series. The first book was good and this one was even better. Love the characters and the storyline. Can’t wait to read book number three in this series.

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.

Author Notes may contain spoilers!

Confederation Park is a smaller park in the city’s northwest quadrant, south of Nose Hill Park (the setting for Knows the Hills). It was previously known as the North Hill Coulee. It was renamed and opened as a park as part of the 100th-anniversary celebration of Canada’s Confederation (the joining of the provinces to form Canada) in 1967. Flags for each of the provinces can be found at the entrance of the park.

The park offers summer and winter fun, and the author both biked and tobogganed there growing up and completed an orienteering course (a map exercise that was sort of a precursor to geocaching). There used to be a small fort for children to play in, and there is now a playground that incorporates a different fort structure. The adjacent Confederation golf course offers cross-country skiing during the winter.

Every year, Confederation Park also hosts the magical Lions Club Festival of Lights Christmas display. This drive-by exhibition consists of over 650,000 bulbs on 25,000 strings and almost 4 km of power cords.
