Book Reviews of In the Shadow of the Glacier (Constable Molly Smith)
Book Review: Most enjoyable read
Summary: 5 Stars
Trafalgar in British Columbia is the hometown of Constable Molly Smith, a.k.a. Moonlight. Molly's father was one of the men of draft age who fled to Trafalgar to avoid serving in the Vietnam War. Molly's mother Lucky is heading up a committee in favor of a peace garden to honor draft dodgers. Land has been bequeathed to the town for erecting such a garden but the project is running into some opposition.
One of the people strongly opposed to a peace garden is Reginald Montgomery. Reginald Montgomery has moved to Trafalgar to construct a luxury resort. Reginald is murdered and Molly is the police officer who discovers his body. Detective Sgt. John Winters is in charge of the investigation and Molly is assigned to assist. Their relationship does not start on the best footing but Molly learns a lot from Winters.
Molly has her hands full with trying to deal with the murder investigation, having her bike stolen and trying to help her best friend who is being stalked.
Before any of these matters can be worked out, a journalist arrives on the scene and is out to make headlines and cause trouble-and Molly finds herself right in the middle.
I totally enjoyed this book and the town of Trafalgar. Molly is a wonderful character from a charming family whom I would like to read more about.
Armchair Interviews says: Nice characters inhabit this mystery.
