Sunset is early enough that I need to take advantage of it and start my nighttime reading earlier. I have been falling asleep after ten and this time, eighteen pages. That won't do. I own so many genuinely physical books and there are so many at once that I am eager to read. I'm enjoying this novel immensely. With a 110-book goal, I would like to chug along more briskly than this. I'll try a few more pages now.

We'll see what prevails at the end. I am uncertain about giving five stars any longer. After tantalizing a great lake premise, with an old family, their old secrets, and an unknown forger; we spend all our time on a small city bomb crime. We flit back to the lake and unveil the forger so hastily, so easily, without relishing any of the family dynamics that were foreshadowed. Drat. Crimes are less fun mysteries!

I'd rather follow the disputed artist on the old family's island than a city bomber but I think we're finishing that segment soon. I don't know if they intersect or if Eric Wright wanted to sample what it was like for a police officer to have two cases to attend to, two mysteries to work out. I know it will be strongly written and humorously-penned, so that it is a journey that is easily enjoyed. I will miss Eric.

I love every word of Eric's writing in this story! It compells, interests, is entirely Canadian and oddly; involves the art world I just read about pertaining to Emily Carr. I am eyeing his approach as a future authoress myself and think I know one reason we keep riveted. He flits from personal family tableau, to his interaction on the Toronto police force, to the old family cottage country he visits. I love it!

People should associate 2015 with a large loss of authors vs 2016 for actors/singers. I do check on elderly favourites but just missed Eric Wright around October 9, 2015! When I read his previous series novel, "A Body Surrounded By Water", I didn't know he had left us 8 months prior. He is one of the real writers and you feel that you are in great hands as soon as you open a page! Great plotting and humanization!
