I enjoyed this book immensely and will look up Keith Bakers other books. Having visited this area, I also found it very nostalgic.

Keith Baker's Lunenburg takes place very close to my home in Nova Scotia so even before the opening page he had me hooked. It tells the story of Annie Welles, a police officer on a murder case that stretches back to the 1970s. Baker's descriptions are so vivid and his prose very good that it draws you in. The mystery is intriguing but I found it a bit confusing through the middle, with multiple characters coming and going through the middle, where it dragged slightly. That said, it picks up against in the last third and the ending is great. Recommended!

The story was exciting from beginning to end; kept you in suspense until the last pages; and was complex. It had well developed, interesting characters, whom I would like to see again in a subsequent novel. I recommend it most highly to mystery fans.
