Sanctuary in the Stream

A quick-read police procedural set in picturesque Canada

A Dam Violent Scene

Detective Margie “Parks Pat” Patenaude is called to the Inglewood Bird Sanctuary—an idyllic natural refuge disturbed by a grisly discovery. A man lies dead near the water, his body seemingly a casualty of beaver activity.

Beavers may be territorial, even dangerous, but something about this death doesn’t add up. Parks trusts her instincts, and they tell her this is no accident of nature. Beneath the peaceful surface of the sanctuary lies a much darker truth—and a killer who thinks they’ve hidden their crime.

Tropes You’ll Love:

• suspicious “accident,”
• nature as cover for murder,
• clever detective work,
• Indigenous culture woven into the story, and
• a brisk, satisfying police procedural.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Another well-written, briskly paced mystery featuring great characters, fascinating glimpses into Canada’s Indigenous culture, and a satisfying resolution—all wrapped up in a delightful quick read.”
