Darkness is often the playground of the supernatural … the eerily unexplained.
Yeo House is a haunted country home in Eastern Canada’s beautiful province of Prince Edward Island. The stately seaside mansion of a shipbuilding magnate and his family in the 1800’s, it was given new life in the twenty-first century. During renovations something unusual was found hidden in the walls — a small toy dog on wheels. Now freed from his wall prison, it seems he’s still being played with by the ghost of the child who once owned him.
When four year-old Della Sayer and her parents visit the historic Yeo mansion to see the famous Wheelie, the little girl makes a strange and powerful connection with the antique toy. It is an unsettling paranormal knowing, a kindred ethereal awareness….
Life for the Sayers will never be the same again.

If you want to be scared out of your wits, then read Playtime. Eden Monroe has really done it this time. Fascinating, realistic, horrifying are just a few of the adjectives that come to mind when I try to describe the events that happen as you read Playtime.
I’m not going to tell the reader any more. There’s just one thing I have to say about Playtime. Read it! What a fantastic, terrible, frighteningly realistic story Eden Monroe has written. This is a great read.

Antiques dealer Monaghan Wilkes has made many enemies in the village of Sixpenny Cross and its surroundings. When he is found dead beside the pond in a local meadow, no one is surprised. Popular opinion targets Monaghan’s long-suffering business partner, Colin Jones, as the murderer. But retiree Winnie Hatherall, a sprightly woman who has lived in the village all her life, is unconvinced.
Detective Inspector Anthony Wallace has an unexpected history with Winnie. He does not like her poking her nose into his case, a sentiment she reciprocates, but he cannot ignore her exceptional talent for knowing what lies behind her neighbours’ lace curtains.
The gentle pace of village life is shattered as Winnie reveals one secret after another. Will her investigation reveal the murderer, or will it lead her into the path of potential danger, making her the next victim?

A Murder in the Meadow was like a trip down memory lane for me, taking me back to the days when I devoured every Agatha Christie and PD James I could get my hands on. I loved those books, and reading Ms. Chatham’s A Murder in the Meadows with the wonderful interplay between the sisters and DI Anthony Wallace and his new protégé DS Rachel Evans was just such a treat.
This is a book that any fan of really good British mysteries is absolutely going to want to add to their library. Wonderful read. Thank you Victoria Chatham. I can’t wait for the next in this terrific new series
Snowstorms blow threatening notes onto the doorstep of Raven Brook’s isolated log cabin, but the police give them no credibility. In their ears, Raven’s tarnished reputation resonated louder than her complaints.
While on a snowmobile ride in the forest, Raven discovers the body of the disgraced officer who investigated her foster grandfather’s murder and dismissed her witness statement. Suddenly, the past she tried to escape roars back to haunt her and her young son.
Corporal Landon Steele is posted to a remote understaffed RCMP detachment to fill the position left vacant by a dead officer. As he searches for missing evidence, he stumbles on a string of suspicious deaths linked to his predecessor. His troubling investigation throws him into Raven’s warpath.
Trust is in short supply. Can Raven and Landon lower their guards, share their discoveries, and solve the murders before their fates intertwine in death?

How was a discharged woman from a fishing village on the west coast of Ireland able to find and market an unending supply of choice seafood from Vinland… long before Columbus or Cabot ever ‘discovered’ the New World? She exhibited the spunk of a proto-feminist, unheard-of in the year 1249. Ultimately, she contrived a mission to defeat the thieves who wanted to keep the fishing grounds secret and opened the doors of the most valuable fishery ever known. She changed the history of our world.
A corker of an idea! Intriguing.
