Louise Penny, Rick Mofina, Melodie Campbell and more Love A Capital Mystery
If you’re from Ottawa, or have ever visited our nation’s capital city, you have to read A Capital Mystery. Canadian mystery heavyweights like Louise Penny, Rick Mofina and Melodie Campbell are touting its virtues. So, do a host of other authors and early readers.
Louise Penny says:
A Capital Mystery is a book that celebrates the magic, history and most of all — mystery — that is Ottawa. “I can’t wait to read it. You can order it online or through your local bookstore.”
Rick Mofina says
“Compelling stories that pull you into Ottawa’s shadows. A tour de force of mystery and suspense.”
Melodie Campbell says
I could feel the chill of Ottawa’s icy winter in the opening story by one of Canada’s master writers. From ‘Captain Canada,’ to ‘the nuclear option,’ there is truly something for everyone in an anthology as Canadian as…a winter in Ottawa!
A Capital Mystery is: “21 short stories spanning the length and breath and history of Ottawa, Canada’s capital city. Some set in modern times, and some reaching far back into Bytown, Ottawa’s original settlement. There are stories in swanky restaurants downtown and strip malls in the suburbs. There are newly arrived Canadians, some more famous ones, jilted lovers and those who may be loved too much. Even a weird ceramic polar bear. All featuring fictitious and delicious crimes that will leave you wondering. Some may even keep you awake at night. But most will leave you with a sense of the magic and mystery of Ottawa, the jewel on the Rideau River.”
