Book Overview

Newshound Kate Messenger is a bit of an oddball - she has visions, a touch of Asperger's, and a penchant for asking just too many questions. She's obsessed with biology, botany, birdwatching, science, music, and so many other things. When a friend gets murdered, she takes on the difficult task of finding the killer. She's pretty sure she knows who it is, but there needs to be solid forensic evidence. Luckily, she can count on her precise skills of observation, a collection of specialized tools, and a handy home laboratory for some answers. The proof points this way and that way until finally, she has the answer. Or does she? It's tough running a newspaper in small town Ontario and fending off sneaky arch nemesis Chelsea Darling, out to undermine her whenever she can. How will Kate's business survive when there are so many things in the way - horrible neighbours, declining times for the newspaper industry, and customers that drive her crazy. There's drugs in town, illicit sex, menacing addicts, policing problems, and a whole stew of issues that complicates things. And eventually puts her life in danger. Thank goodness Kate has help from her good friend, retiree Dorothy Anguish, and a cast of quirky characters. Book 1 in a series.
