Praise for Riversong

Rosemary McCracken’s Riversong lives up to its title: at once lyrical, evocative, sometimes haunting, sometimes mysterious, and always telling a good story. McCracken blends the worlds of journalism, finance, wildlife preservation, and criminal justice as Pat Tierney risks everything in pursuit of finding a murderer and doing what is right.

—Anthony Bidulka, author the Merry Bell Mysteries, and winner of Crime Writers of Canada’s Best Crime Novel Award

Rosemary McCracken’s dynamic and absorbing novel, Riversong, is driven by two questions. Who murdered Monika Lentz? And who was Monika Lentz? Beautiful, wealthy, and charismatic, Lentz was seemingly one of fortune’s favorites. Her wildly successful column in the Toronto World newspaper championed the downtrodden and exposed charlatans. But after Lentz is murdered, ugly rumors about her arise. Pat Tierney, Lentz's financial advisor, is determined to get to the truth and bring her killer to justice. This fifth Pat Tierney mystery is a winner!

—Gail Bowen, author of the Joanne Kilbourn Shreve Mystery Series, and winner of Crime Writers of Canada’s Best Crime Novel Award and the Derrick Murdoch Award for her contributions to the crime fiction genre
