Meg Spencer hasn't even been retired for 48 hours and she's already finding dead bodies!
All she wants is to make it to Victoria, BC, Canada so she can start her new life, far away from the mean streets of Toronto, where she worked for decades as a homicide detective.
But a murderer has other plans. And they're not going to wait for the plane to touch down in Victoria before killing someone.
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 trouble.
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.
Enjoy this free short story that starts off the series!
Pamela Kenney writes a lot of mysteries, from noir to cozies, but they always have a touch of humour. Even her non–fiction is humorous, like an essay she wrote that was published in the Globe and Mail.
