Publisher's Summary

In the Shadow of the Glacier introduces a new traditional mystery series set in a bucolic mountain town in British Columbia and featuring young constable Molly Smith.

Trouble is brewing in the small town of Trafalgar. Constable Smith nearly stumbles over a body, the victim of a murder. The deceased was a highly unpopular newcomer who had big plans for developing a luxury resort outside of town.

Smith throws herself into solving the case, in part to build her career on the force and to win the approval of her parents. She is also hoping to impress her new supervisor, Sergeant John Winters, newly arrived from the city of Vancouver, who has brought along his own set of personal problems.

What the critics say

"[An] intriguing series opener....Delany carefully sets up the conflicts, resolving most but not all in anticipation of the next assignment, and begins what looks to be some extensive character development." ( Publishers Weekly)

Not great

I’m not certain just how I should rate the story, it was okay but not great. The main character was portrayed as a very naive almost bumbling young female police officer. I believe her character could grow stronger and more seasoned as the series continues and perhaps I will search out this series on kindle.
HOWEVER, I won’t continue listening to this narrator give these Canadian characters the voices of “dumb Canucks”. I felt like her only experience with Canadians was from watching Corner Gas or Bob & Doug McKenzie!!!!! 95% of Canadians do not sound like that 😡
