Sinopsis
Secrets abound at a northern Ontario lodge when a teenage employee is murdered.
It's late summer and a restless Officer Kala Stonechild has taken her foster niece, Dawn, on a canoe trip at Pine Hollow Lodge in the wilderness north of Sault Ste. Marie. But the getaway turns deadly when a teenage girl goes missing on her way home from an evening shift at the lodge's restaurant.
After the girl's body is found between the lodge and the nearby town of Searchmont, Stonechild reluctantly agrees to help with the investigation. She's teamed with Clark Harrison, an officer she worked with during her last posting in northwestern Ontario. As the investigation heats up, Stonechild's past threatens the close bonds she's forged back home. Will she return to her life in Kingston, or will the rekindling of an old relationship lure her away for good?

Reseñas Varias sobre este libro
A moment of silence please, as I mourn the passing of one of my favourite series. Ive enjoyed every one of these books & feel Im saying good-bye to old friends .friends with lives waaay more exciting than mine.
In the final instalment, we find Kingston police officer Kala Stonechild at loose ends. She has a good life in the city but cant deny a growing urge to chuck it all & hit the road. She has some big decisions to make & in an effort to clear her head, she & niece Dawn head off to a cabin in the wilds of northern Ontario. The little resort promises spotty cell service & no wifi but plenty of rivers to explore by canoe followed by quiet starlit nights. Perfect. Or it should have been.
People staying in the cabins only see each other when they gather for meals at the main lodge. Among the staff & guests is Rachel, a pretty 16 year old working as a waitress for the summer. Unfortunately, Kala will only get to know her after her broken body is found on the side of the road. Shes been brutally murdered & the small, close knit community promptly goes into shock.
Enter OPP Officer Clark Morrison, a former colleague of Kalas when she worked in a northern detachment. And due to staff shortages, he could really use a hand. Would she be interested in a temporary reassignment? This was supposed to be a break from bodies & paperwork but Kala cant shake the feeling the killer is hiding in plain sight. And they might not be done.
Back in Kingston, boss Jacques Rouleau oks her request to join the investigation. But hes worried. He & her partner Paul Gundersund have sensed Kalas restlessness for a while & wonder if this is her first step toward saying good-bye.
Readers expect a lot from a final book. You want a great story but usually there are some long running plot lines to tie up as well. This strikes a good balance. The investigative aspect is detailed & loaded with red herrings that keep your brain veering in every direction. When the killer was revealed, I had to do the forehead smack .how could I forget the most basic tenant: cui bono? But in my own defence, my God, some of these people are a hot mess. When Morrison compared their shenanigans to Peyton Place, he wasnt wrong (something for all you youngsters to google
