Upper Canada is on the brink of rebellion and only one man can stop it...

TURNCOAT
The year is 1836 and Ensign Marc Edwards of His Majesty's 24th Regiment of Foot is eager to see some action. Unfortunately the regiment has been posted to the colonial backwater of Toronto, Upper Canada, where there doesn't seem to be much chance for glory. But the local population is openly chafing under British rule and the surrounding countryside turns out to be a hotbed of radicals, Reformers, Yankees, and smugglers.

SOLEMN VOWS
It's steamy June in Toronto, 1836. Lieutenant Marc Edwards has again found himself sitting atop a lit powder keg in more ways than one. A prominent politician has been assassinated, and in their haste to catch the killer, Marc and his troops are responsible for the death of an innocent local man.

VITAL SECRETS
By the fall 1837, Lieutenant Marc Edwards is an old hand at his post. Toronto is seething under the repressive hand of the new government, but the arrival of a touring American theatrical company promises an enjoyable diversion. Marc's friend Rick Hilliard falls hard for a young actress, but a rival for her affections is murdered, and a disheveled Hilliard is discovered standing over the body holding a bloody sword.

Bringing to BC meeting. Enjoy!

Picked up this monster of a book at the May Calgary book crossing meeting.

This was a good mystery set in an interesting setting. The Canadian history definitely added to the story and reminded me of all the stuff I learned (and forgot) in school.

I only read the first of the three novels. If my Mt. TBR was a more reasonable size, I would have certainly read the next two in this set.

Bringing this book to the Calgary July BookCrossing meetup.

I picked this up at the July meeting at Cravings. Love the short ones! Hmm - 963 pages - I guess this doesn't qualify!

OK - I realized that I had read the first 2 stories so finished the last one. Sure do like this character and the series. Learn so much about the history of Canada and the States, plus the way that crimes are solved back then AND there is the love component. Will have to hunt for the next book as I am anxious to read it.

I am returning this to the September meeting at Cravings.

My daughter picked this book at the meetup yesterday.

I will be bringing this one back to our group at the meetup tomorrow.
