Wishful Seeing: A Thaddeus Lewis Mystery: 5 - Tapa blanda

An appealing look at life in mid-1800s Canada, full of historical detail, engaging characters, and a murder investigation that takes many surprising twists and turns before it can be solved. * Kirkus * So this is your beach read. Take it to the shore, to the mountains, to the river, or even your own backyard, but don't cheat yourself by passing it by. * Seattle Book Mama * Kellough smartly brings all her trails of intrigue and misunderstanding to a fine finish, so that an effort that on its face has the hallmarks of the worthy but tedious winds up being suspenseful, complex, satisfying - and entertainingly instructive, as well. * London Free Press * The stories themselves would be entirely at home in contemporary-set mystery novels, which makes the series perfect for readers of historical mysteries and for those who are simply looking for a good yarn, regardless of when it's set. * Booklist * A strong, page-turning partnership between history and mystery ... Wishful Seeing is storytelling set apart from the usual mystery. * Don Graves * Great evocation of the era, excellent historical research and Thaddeus and Martha are two to watch. * Globe and Mail *
