Publisher's summary

It’s early spring 1948 and Lane arrives in New Denver to find that her friend, Peter Barisoff, is not at home. Instead, in a nearby meadow, she encounters Tom, an Indigenous man in search of his ancestral lands. Lane is intrigued. Unfortunately, once Peter returns home, the day takes a gloomy turn when the trio uncovers human remains next to Peter’s garden, and Lane must tell her husband, Inspector Darling, that she’s inadvertently stumbled into his professional domain—again.

Back in Nelson, the Vitalis, Lane and Darling’s favourite restaurateurs, are victims of arson. Constable Terrell’s investigation suggests prejudice as a motive, and the case quickly escalates, as the Vitalis receive increasingly threatening notes of warning. Meanwhile, Sergeant Ames works a robbery while alienating Tina Van Eyck in his personal time, and a swirling rumour sets the entire station on edge and prompts an RCMP investigation into Darling’s integrity.

Amid the local bustle series fans have come to love, Framed in Fire is bound up in difficult questions of community and belonging, and the knowledge that trusted neighbours can sometimes be as sinister as a stranger in the dark.

Worth the wait

Finished the print copy ages ago, so glad to get the audio version. Intelligent and kind cast of primary characters further developed while mystery touching on indigenous issues unfolds. Carefully researched, respectfully executed. Best yet.

Engrossing

Wonderful, engrossing novel from one of my favorite authors. Here she’s woven several very interesting subplots into one murder investigation, all along the way keeping the reader intrigued with tidbits about the usual characters. This is one of her best, in my opinion. I can’t wait for her next novel. And the narrator, Marilla Wex, is superb. Please continue to wow your readers with these delightful characters and mindful plots, Iona! We love you.

A wonderful addition to an excellent series

I’ve enjoyed all the books in the Lane Winslow series, but this may be my favorite. I love how the author infuses her books with a history that is not well known. I hope there are many more books to come from the creative mind of Ms Whishaw.
