About this ebook

A serial killer stalks the Sunshine Coast in this "tightly plotted . . . richly atmospheric" ( Booklist ) installment of the Edgar Award–winning series—the inspiration for Fox TV and Hulu's Murder in a Small Town .

"Wright is fully [Ruth Rendell's] equal in psychological studies of compulsion." — Kirkus Reviews

The ninth and final book in the Edgar Award–winning Karl Alberg series makes a wonderfully elegant end to the saga of the tiny town on Canada's "Sunshine Coast," the policeman who tries to catch the town's baddies, and the sensual, smart‐mouthed librarian he loves. Alberg and Cassandra are at long last getting married, and Alberg has a new sergeant, the beautiful and enigmatic Edwina Henderson.

But don't be fooled by all the sunshine. Sechelt, British Colombia, once again has more than its share of murders. And the serial killer who's busy knocking off residents—someone known as "the avenging Angel"—may be the darkest character Alber has ever faced.

"Magical . . . [Wright is] unexcelled at rooting violence in the rhythms of everyday life and banal desires." — Kirkus Reviews

The crimes took a long time to unravel. Folks who had not read earlier books in the series might have given up by them. It leaves several lines open for adding to the series, though Bunny's death four years after finishing this one ended that potential. I would have liked to see more.
