Patricia and Dan Kerr are the co‑authors of the Mystery Destiny series, a collection of fast‑paced adventure mysteries known for their suspenseful plots, atmospheric settings, and unforgettable characters. Their novels — including Stowaway to Danger, Explosive Delivery, Deadly Pine, Flyn’ into Danger, River Explosion, and Holiday to Survive — explore high‑stakes danger and the timeless question of who can be trusted when everything is on the line.

Dan’s background as an Identification Officer with the Ontario Provincial Police brings authentic investigative detail to their stories. His experiences with serious illness, including multiple extended ICU admissions, also inform the survival themes and emotional depth woven throughout the series.

Duke: The Ill‑Mannered Dog Who Becomes the Heart of Highway of Shadows

Readers looking for cozy mysteries with dogs often ask whether Highway of Shadows includes a canine companion. The answer is yes — and his name is Duke — but he’s not your typical cozy‑mystery dog.

Duke starts out as a nervous wreck.
Ill‑mannered.
Unpredictable.
A bundle of anxiety wrapped in fur.

He’s the kind of dog who barks at shadows, jumps at his own tail, and tests every ounce of patience Linore Read more of this blog post »
