Synopsis

Georgian Bay: a spectacular terrain of granite shores, deserted islands, and infinite sparkling bays. As part of her cross-Canada charity tour, Amanda Doucette has planned a kayaking trip in the area for abused families from a rural Ontario community. While exploring some remote islands offshore, she and a local tour guide rescue a frightened young woman whose boat has capsized. In an apparent act of kindness, the tour guide takes the woman to shore, leaving Amanda stranded. But when news surfaces that a wealthy doctor has died at his estate and his Filipino nanny has gone missing, Amanda fears far more sinister forces are at work. When the young tour guide is found dead on a nearby island, she and RCMP officer Chris Tymko race to prevent more innocent deaths.

Although each book in this series is set in different parts of Canada(which is great and interesting), I am finding Amanda a bit of a loose cannon as she puts her head down and tries to tackle a different injustice each time. But maybe that is the aim of these stories - care for others! I hope she a......more
