When Merry Bell returns to her hometown of Livingsky, Saskatchewan, she faces three challenges: how to launch her new PI business, where to find cheap-but-decent living quarters, and finetuning her new identity as a transgender woman. Merry is an engaging, three-dimensional character, and, as a trans woman, she’s in a special spotlight in this new mystery series.
Canadian author Anthony Bidulka broke new ground for diversity in 2003 when he published the first (Amuse Bouche) of his eight-book mystery series with its gay private investigator, Russell Quant. And he’s broken new ground again this year with Merry Bell.
