A Touch of Panic: Murder in a Small Town

By L.R. Wright

Book Overview

Read along with the new TV drama, streaming now on FOX TV and Hulu

For fans of Louise Penny's Chief Inspector Gamache Mysteries.

"Wright is a master of the psychological thriller."-Booklist

Ruthless businessman Gordon Murphy has something of a Midas touch... in everything but love.

Now he's set his sights on Cassandra Mitchell, even though she's happily sharing a bed and breakfast with Sergeant Karl Alberg of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Meanwhile, Alberg has some actual policing problems to contend with - a stolen coin collection, a hapless would-be burglar, local worthies hollering about the state of one citizen's front yard.

It sounds all charming and cozy... but this is L.R. Wright we're talking about: Alberg may have left the Toronto police force in the belief that small-town crimes would be cuddlier, but Wright takes great care in pointing out just how wrong he was, revealing the dark roots beneath the roses of the Sunshine Coast.

"Spellbinding... Wright tells her fiendish tale in angelic prose."-Toronto Star

Customer Reviews

Great Book

The sixth novel in the series does not disappoint! The various plot lines are fantastic and criss cross and intertwine with each other. The many characters and events keep the story moving at a good pace. The action, while not of blockbuster proportion, never stops until the last page. Wright has managed to paint an interesting (and sometimes quirky) picture of small town life.

A splendif book

A Touch of Panic is one of the best mysteries I've ever read. L.R. Wright shows her skill to create a tense crime - as well as a tense private world.
