Michael Blair's Depth Of Field

By Elspeth Redmond

New Document Michael Blair's latest novel in the Granville Island series is an engaging mystery, one that the reader can't put down, ... READ MORE

New Document Summer is a time for light and not-so-light reading. Crime fiction has taken Canada by storm, and we have some excellent mystery and thriller writers here in Quebec: Michael Blair, Louise Penny of the Three Pines mystery series, Leon Berger, and others who add intelligence and writing skills to plotting, characterization, and esoteric knowledge. Short stories are another cool summer pastime when the weather is just too hot to stir. Young adult readers are not neglected, with ideas for exciting reads. And finally, a self-published column brings together the best of the self-published books submitted to the mRb during the year. So read local, shop local, and enjoy your summer somewhere local.

New Document We wish to thank the Canada Council for the Arts, the Department of Canadian Heritage, and SODEC for their generous support, without which this publication would not exist.
