From the doyenne of detective novels and the inspiration for the major TV series Murder in a Small Town (starring Rossif Sutherland and Kristin Kreuk), the first Karl Alberg detective story, where life on the Sunshine Coast isn't as sunny as it seems. Murder in a Small Town will air Tuesdays this Fall on FOX and Global TV.
For fans of Shetland and Broadchurch, British Columbia's Sunshine Coast isn't always so sunny for Staff Sergeant Karl Alberg. To Karl Alberg a quiet coastal town is exactly what he needs to soothe a psyche that's been battered by big-city police work. But this gentle paradise has more than its share of secrets. Bees buzz among the roses, and the local librarian is attractive, intriguing, and unattached. Perhaps he has at last come in from the cold. But a murder in small town can conceal a lot of secrets —some of them bleak enough to make a man yearn for some nice straightforward urban crime. Karl will need to call upon all the skills that made him a world-class detective in solving the murders that, even in this seemingly idyllic setting, continue to wash up on his shore.

      A team of talented narrators shines in this audiobook--part police procedural, part mystery, and part compelling character study. The story is set in the 1980s on the Sunshine Coast in British Columbia. Listeners know from the beginning who killed Carlyle Burke, but they don't know why. Staff Sgt. Karl Alberg, portrayed by Peter Outerbridge, is brought in to investigate. He knows who did it, but he can't prove it, and his frustration and determination are evident. Cassandra Mitchell, portrayed by Kristin Kreuk, is the town librarian with connections to everyone. George Wilcox, portrayed by John Nelles, is a quiet octogenarian with secrets and unanswered questions. The characters are well developed, and the pacing of the narration complements the investigation and the relationships presented. K.S.M. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine
