Parks Pat Mysteries

There’s nothing like jumping straight into the deep end…

Margie Patenaude is new in town, and her first day on the job is anything but ordinary. On her daughter’s first day of school, Margie is called to a murder scene in one of Calgary’s picturesque parks. It’s a brutal crime in a beautiful setting—and the killer is still on the loose.

As the newest member of the Calgary police force, Margie knows she has something to prove. If she wants her colleagues to believe she’s not just a “diversity hire,” she’ll need to track down the killer and bring justice to a shaken community—all while helping her daughter adjust to life in a new city.
