Reviews for Bleeding Darkness: A Stonechild and Rouleau Mystery

Bleeding Darkness is a cleverly-crafted story, steeped in suspense, impossible to put down * Rick Mofina, bestselling author of Last Seen * As slick with twists and turns as the stormy Kingston winter streets, this beefy family drama will keep you turning pages. * Ottawa Review of Books * Chapman shows once again why she is on the rise among thoughtful and insightful crime writers. Bleeding Darkness is not only a good Canadian crime novel - it is a good crime novel, period. * Reviewing the Evidence * This is a solidly constructed and compelling mystery-and a tale of inter- and intra-family conflict. * The Popular Culture Association Mystery & Detective Fiction Reading List * Great cast of characters and very clever plotting.... Altogether a very satisfying mystery! * Ann Cleeves, author of the Shetland murder mysteries, for Shallow End * The fifth installment in the marvelous Stonechild and Rouleau Mystery series, Bleeding Darkness by Brenda Chapman, is a superb police procedural. * Book Reviews & More by Kathy * The ongoing story lines in Kala and Rouleau's personal and work lives add depth and strength to this book and the series as a whole. Readers will enjoy riding shotgun with them through every twist and turn of this intriguing case. * Publishers Weekly * A complex and suspenseful mystery. Recommend it highly to crime-fiction fans looking for a new author. * Booklist *
