Body in the Bay

Meg Spencer is ready for fun. She's wearing her Hawaiian shirt. She's on a beach. She's even got an ice cream cone, for crying out loud. What could possibly go wrong?

A dead body, of course.

And no one can find a dead body faster than Meg Spencer, a recently retired homicide detective. All she wants is to have some fun. But that's the one thing she's not going to get.

Welcome to a new series of cozy mysteries by Pamela Kenney featuring a recently retired homicide detective from Toronto, trying to find a quiet, peaceful life in Victoria. Unfortunately, everywhere she goes, she finds murder and mayhem.

Her old co-workers warned her this would happen but she refuses to become the next Miss Marple.

Even if it kills her.

If Miss Marple and the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel were one person, she'd be Meg Spencer, running around Vancouver Island trying to find a peaceful retirement but only getting into trouble instead. Each one of Meg's adventures is a self-contained mystery short, perfect for the busy person: to make time fly when waiting in line or to savour with morning coffee.

Pamela Kenney writes a lot of mysteries, from noir to cozies, but they always have a touch of humour. Even her nonfiction is humorous, like an essay she wrote that was published in the Globe and Mail.
