Canadian crime fiction: broad and inventive

CANADIAN CHRONICLES has garnered a great mention from crime-fiction reviewer June Lorraine Roberts on her popular blog, Murder in Common: "From the quietly unsettling to the darkly humorous, the anthology offers a glimpse at just how broad and inventive Canadian crime fiction can be."

My story, "The Millennium Project," came in for what June Lorraine called a Special Mention. "McCracken’s contribution is an appealing choice for a collection designed to show just how varied Canadian crime fiction can be. One of her strengths is her ability to take ordinary people and place them in situations that gradually become anything but ordinary.

"I won’t say too much about The Millennium Project, except this: everyone has dreams, and sometimes those dreams result in unexpected actions. Read it to discover exactly what I’m alluding to.

"In the meantime, if you haven’t yet discovered McCracken’s excellent Pat Tierney series, you can learn more about it here."

Thank you, June Lorraine and Murderous Ink Press!!
