Book Review: Jean Paetkau

 📕 Jean Paetkau 📕

🇨🇦 Jean is a Canadian journalist. I found her on Twitter, where she was documenting the management of her cancer. She is on Blue Sky now, as are many of us. They are set in Vancouver, which brings back memories of our visits there. I really enjoyed them and I wanted to support her.

Blood on the Breakwater

I liked the plot twist. Both are murder mysteries. This one takes place in the author's home town, Victoria, where a body is found and links to the past.  

The Sinking of Souls

This incorporates an historical fact, the sinking of the S.S. Clallam steamship, which sunk in 1904. 

The second book begins in Craigdarroch Castle. You can take a virtual tour

Craigdarroch Castle

Her fans have been posting messages for her.

I am also reading these! 



Garbage is out for the week. It's a chilly -5 ℃ and I bundled up. The new week begins.

Oooh, goodie goodie, more mysteries to find! I just finished listening to a Baldacci mystery and now am trying a new series by Evanovich. So far it isn't as funny as her number series. Happy reading!

Happy reading. Minus five? It will be months and months before we see those temperatures again. Our minimum last night was !6 and we are predicted to get over 30 each day this week.
