Why read it?

1 author picked Refuge Bay as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Rural, eastern Canada yields a literary mystery with rough, gritty characters, both men and women, with a clash of Anglo and Francophone cultures in a struggle for coexistence.

From Gary's list on genre-busting indie mysteries.
