It Begins in Betrayal: A Lane Winslow Mystery
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
Finalist for a 2019 Lefty Award
The fourth book in what the Globe and Mail has proclaimed "a terrific series" by "a writer to watch."
Summer descends over the picturesque King's Cove as Darling and Lane's mutual affection blossoms. But their respite from solving crime is cut short when a British government official arrives in Nelson to compel Darling to return to England for questioning about the death of a rear gunner under his command in 1943.
In Darling's absence, Ames oversees the investigation into the suspicious death of a local elderly woman and uncovers a painful betrayal inflicted forty years earlier. Meanwhile, Lane follows Darling to London, where he is charged with murder and faces hanging. While desperately seeking answers, Lane is presented with a proposal that could save the man she loves, but only if she returns to the very life she sought to leave behind.

A tale of two murders.Agatha Browning, an Englishwoman who kept to herself, has been stabbed to death near her ransacked cabin in the woods of British Columbia. The only clue is her missing car, which was driven away by an unknown woman. Inspector Darling is abruptly pulled off the case by a government official who demands that he go to England to assist in an inquiry into an incident when he was a pilot during World War II. His departure poses a serious complication for his budding love affair with Lane Winslow. A spy during the war who was in a disastrous relationship with her controlling boss, Lane left England to live an unfettered life in Canada. Deeply disturbed when Darling is forced to return to England, she follows him and learns that he's been arrested for murder. The police claim to have eyewitness testimony that he killed one of his men after their plane was shot down in France. Although Scotland Yard's DI Sims sees a clear case, he's impressed by Darling and willing to look deeper. Darling's friend in England has hired a lawyer who initially doubts that Lane can help. But her determination to interview the other crew members, one of whom turns out to have died recently under suspicious circumstances, changes his attitude. As Darling is first granted, then denied bail and moved from prison to prison, Lane sees the sinister hand of the special branch she worked for behind his predicament. Meanwhile, back in Canada, Constable Ames, who's continuing to work the case, finds that the answers to Agatha Browning's murder lie in her past in England.The fourth in Whishaw's character-driven series (An Old, Cold Grave, 2017, etc.) is relentlessly exciting from start to finish.COPYRIGHT(2018) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

June 11, 2018
Whishaw’s fourth post-WWII Lane Winslow mystery (following An Old, Cold Grave) is flawed, but will nonetheless delight fans of the author’s prior work. This installment sees Winslow following the man she loves, Inspector Darling of the Nelson Police, back to London after he’s charged with the murder of a gunner under his command during the war. Lane must clear his name through her wartime spy connections—a world she worked desperately to leave behind. Though the plot and a second murder case in Nelson, B.C., prove overly simplistic, Winslow herself, modeled on the author’s own wartime spy mother, is (as always) the best thing about the series. Her portrayal somewhat mitigates the book’s flat characterizations, wooden dialogue, stereotypical queer characterizations and interactions, poor pacing, and a lack of racial diversity. The absence of any people of color in both British Columbia and the U.K. is noticeable, especially given the way racial diversity is at least present (if even it ranged from poorly handled to grossly stereotyped) in the mid-20th-century British works Whishaw’s novels emulate. As such, this is definitely a mixed bag, but one with an excellently crafted series protagonist.
