Traditional mystery featuring retired Mountie
I'm still finding my way around here, but wanted to do a little BSP for my first novel, Slow Curve on the Coquihalla, now available for Kindle at Amazon and also at Smashwords in a number of formats. (Just search "Coquihalla".)
I had a most excellent review today from a stranger in Kentucky - it read "RE Donald's traditional mystery SLOW CURVE ON THE COQUIHALLA is everything the genre represents" and concluded with "The tale flows north & south between Canada & the US with dogged "police" work, well-drawn characters, plot twists, and red herrings. It isn't until the last pages when you know the killer that your mind flips back to realize all the clues were there, but they were buried in a polished story.
A great take to bed read for anyone who loves crime fiction in a traditional fashion."
Needless to say, I was totally excited when I read the review! Love to hear what anyone else has to say about it. I originally wrote it in 1995, then revised it a couple of years later after attending a week long mystery writing workshop at the Book Passage in Corte Madera, Calif. with Elizabeth George.
