It's Your Own Fault

By Ron Finch

It's the spring of 1936, and Jeremy Ogden has come back to Chaseford looking for answers. His father, a man infamous for his drinking, his temper, and his eccentricity, is dead; his mother and brothers are missing. What happened that July 8th, 1920, the day of one of Chaseford's most spectacular and disturbing tragedies? Was it an accident, as the authorities claimed, or was it the result of some nefarious plot? Jeremy needs to know.

Joel, intrigued by the loose ends of an apparently closed case, has decided to help fellow constable Jake Smith uncover the truth. With solid police work and some assistance from those involved in the original investigation, including Chief Petrovic and the now-retired famous London detective James Town, the two young constables begin to peel back the layers of what proves to be a very elusive mystery. It looks like Joel's going to need some extra help from his friends, the disembodied essence, Walter, and the distinguished Toronto psychiatrist, Dr. Khryscoff, on this one.

It's Your Own Fault is the fifth installment in the Joel Franklin Mystery series, following Lightning at 200 Durham Street, Where's the Rest of the Body?, Terror on the Way, and One Foot Out of the Grave. Set in a small town in rural Ontario, Canada, with a cast of recurring characters, this historical whodunit with overtones of the paranormal harks back to the Golden Age of detective fiction. A real treat for readers of all ages.
