Query: Pleasant, gentle, oh,so Canadian!

Gordon's mysteries like those of other Canadian writers of this genre (Bowen, Wright(LR,Eric)} are really excuses for depicting fascinating characters. The prairies come alive in this book, the little old ladies waiting to be inducted into the local Baseball Hall of fame are real characters! The plot takes a few surprising twists. There really is no "detection" to speak of since Kate Henry is handed the solution on a platter. But then that hardly matters. What one really recalls at the end are the characters and the setting!
