‘These beautifully written short stories will draw you in immediately with their vivid settings and then at the end allow you, brimming with the happy knowledge of justice served, to go off and make yourself a celebratory cup of tea.’ —Iona Whishaw, award-winning, bestselling author of the Lane Winslow Mysteries
What does home mean to you? Is it a cozy cottage in a forest, a house whose windows overlook the ocean, a bungalow filled with the smell of baking, a high-rise apartment in a big city?
The fourteen stories in this book showcase the creativity and talent of our authors. The homes include simple suburban houses that are unremarkable until you look closer, an Edwardian mansion in need of repair, cottages with delightful gardens hiding secrets, a glamourous gated mansion, a retirement community, simple shacks, basement suites, and even a convent.
Sometimes the characters in these stories are trying to protect their homes. Others have found those homes are not the havens they should be. Some people are just looking for a place to call home, and others have had more homes than they wanted. You’ll find characters who are frightened. Some are seeking justice. Many are hiding secrets. And some are just out for revenge.
Some of the stories will make you laugh. Others will make you cry. Some are frightening, some are heartbreaking. All of them are entertaining. We hope you will enjoy these fourteen approaches to Home Sweet Homicide.
Home Sweet Homicide is the fourth collection in the Crime Wave series of anthologies produced by the crime writers of western Canada. There may be murder, and often mayhem, but justice always prevails. Even if it’s not quite what you expect. The authors are:
Shelley Adina
JE Barnard

AT Bennett
Sandra Benson
Craig H Bowlsby
Susan Calder
PJ Donison
Debra Henry
Winona Kent
CJ Papoutsis
