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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"[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)

Vicki Delany was a new author for me and I must say I enjoyed these books very much. I only wished that they had been numbered so that I had read them in order not that it mattered with the particular murder but the thread running through the books would have been more understandable. I find this often with books in a series especially when you don't have that had copy of the inside of the book showing the titles and the order in which they were published. Still that aside the books are great the story line interesting and the reading excellent.

New for me

Perhaps the bad reviews of this book are a product of the most unfortunate narrating I've ever heard on an audiobook. As one reviewer says, she makes everyone sound 10 years old--no, SHE sounds 10 years old! No inflection, no nuances. Why on earth did anyone hire her to read books? If there is a sequel to this book, please, please, get one of the many narrators who can actually narrate!

The book is O.K., but the narrator is awful!

I enjoyed this book very much and will be interested in more by this author. And I mostly enjoyed the slight Canadian accent the reader has. She did a very acceptable job of differentiating between characters. My only real quibbles are, sadly, probably the result of the reader and author being Canadian. The first really is a small quibble -- the reader mispronounced the name of Jon Benet Ramsey. Considering the wall-to-wall coverage of the case off and on over the years, it just grated on my ears. Second, the author seems to not understand the way many American people would feel about the Peace Garden under discussion for most of the book. Yes, there are people here who would feel as she expects, but many more of us would find the whole thing to be a big tourist attraction! As an American, that annoyed me.

In the book's favor, I was more than half-way through before I spotted the first clue as to who the culprit was and it was a great deal longer than that before I untangled who had committed which crime and why. That's a *good* thing.

I found myself liking the main characters, even when I disagreed with them, which is fairly unusual, so I will be when more books in the series are released. An excellent beginning to a series!

A Good First Book in a Series

This is a well written realistic mystery. The characters are believable and engaging. I look forward to the next book in this series.

Very Entertaining

I have read many of the authors books with pleasure and this one did not seem to be on the same level as the other series she has done. It was a little creepy. One thing I did not like at all was the swearing. It’s unnecessary and there are still people in the world (like me) who find it offensive.

Mildly disappointed
