Includes an excerpt from the next Dr. Bannerman Vet Mystery, Six Ostriches (pages 249-256).
"A swine barn explodes near a lakeside Manitoba town, putting veterinarian Dr. Peter Bannerman on a collision course with murder and a startling conspiracy. Peter is an odd duck, obsessed with logic and measurable facts, an obsession he puts to good use in his veterinary practice. When a murder is connected to the swine barn explosion and his friend Tom becomes the prime suspect, Peter feels compelled to put his reasoning skills, and his dog Pippin's remarkable nose, to use to help clear him. The situation darkens with a second murder and a series of break-ins, including at Peter's house and clinic, but Peter has a hard time knowing when he is out of his depth, despite warnings from his brother-in-law Kevin, an RCMP officer. It becomes increasingly clear that something extraordinary is behind all this, possibly international in scope. Ultimately Peter finds himself out in the middle of frozen Lake Winnipeg during a blizzard, fighting for his life and confronting a horrifying realization he had been blind to all along."-- Provided by publisher.

Fun Cozy Mystery with Suspense submitted by sdunav on August 8, 2024, 7:41pm With a surprisingly engaging main character (a rather curmudgeonly veterinarian in mostly rural Manitoba), this cozy mystery actually turned into a rather suspenseful action-filled novel towards the end - which takes place on a frozen Lake Winnipeg. There's lot of great description of the small towns and landscape, which is also enjoyable.
