Searching For Truth: A Suspenseful Whodunnit Featuring a Retired Journalist, a Cold Case, and a Killer Close to Home (Jake Scott Mystery Series Book 1):
"A very interesting introduction to a series featuring Jake Scott, a retired newspaper reporter. Well defined and intriguing characters and the descriptions of Ottawa, Canada are great. Definitely planning to read book #2!"
