Memo to Murder

By Barbara Emodi

Heidi MacDonald is not qualified for her new job at the Legislature with Official Opposition.

She has never voted, or can't remember when. Her research experience amounts to one letter published in a sewing magazine. She lives in her parents' basement with a cat named Gilbert. Her direct supervisor considers her a useful fall guy, her chief of staff plays solitaire all day, and the MLA she's been assigned to, spends most of his time at the Legion.

Then an anonymous message appears on Heidi's office whiteboard. A minister resigns. A politician falls from the public gallery, and the only anarchist in the House is found dead in a parking lot.

Heidi didn't set out to investigate anything. But it turns out that people in power will say anything in front of staffers they don't see. Set inside a Canadian legislature, this a cozy political mystery shows what when happens when those who keep the machinery of government running pay attention.
