Under Cold Stone: A Constable Molly Smith Mystery (Constable Molly Smith Novels)
Environmentalist and free spirit Lucky Smith goes on vacation to Banff National Park, Alberta, with the chief constable of Trafalgar, British Columbia, Paul Keller, staying at the luxurious Banff Springs Hotel. While waiting in line for a latte, Lucky has a run-in with a couple of punks, one of whom, she discovers, is Paul’s estranged son, Matt. When Matt finds his roommate’s body, he calls his father for help, but by the time Paul and Lucky arrive at the apartment, Matt is gone, on the run. Lucky then calls on her daughter, Constable Molly Smith, also of the Trafalgar police, for support, and Molly drives to Banff to be with her mother, although she is uncomfortable with her mother’s relationship with her boss. Drawing heavily on the atmospheric setting in the wilderness of Banff National Park, the story weaves environmentalism, family relationships, and Lucky and Paul’s budding relationship through what is a satisfying series entry. --Sue OBrien--This text refers to theHardcoveredition.
