The Dogs of Winter by Ann Lambert, Perfect | Indigo Chapters

The sequel to The Birds That Stay, which was hailed by The Globe and Mail as one of "Ten Thrillers That Will Keep You On the Edge of Your Seat Until Summertime" and included on Book Riot's list of "Highly Anticipated Crime Novels." This second mystery in the series begins as a howling snowstorm envelops the city of Montreal, and the body of a young woman is discovered in its wake. The only clue to her identity: a photograph in her pocket with the scribbled phone number of Detective Inspector Romeo Leduc. Meanwhile, Marie Russell is trying to help a student at her college who is the victim of a terrible assault. Marie has been busy with her life in Montreal, teaching and writing her next book while navigating her relationship with Roméo. While Roméo begins to think that the deaths of several homeless people may be linked, Marie is confronted with the injustices of the legal system. Each of them is dealing with entrenched inequality, but Roméo’s investigation will lead them both to a confrontation with a murderer who has a perverse reason for killing some of the city’s most vulnerable people. | The Dogs of Winter by Ann Lambert, Perfect | Indigo Chapters
