Lou Allin is the author of two series, the Holly Martin Mysteries and the Belle Palmer Mysteries. After teaching for many years at Cambrian College in Sudbury, Ontario, she now lives near Sooke on Vancouver Island.
Middle-aged Canadian realtor Belle Palmer returns to investigate old scandals and new deaths after 2000's Northern Winters Are Murder in Lou Allin's Blackflies Are Murder: A Belle Palmer Mystery. The details of daily life dinners, clothing choices mesh with a meandering exploration of town history and personal troubles, as Belle becomes privy to an old case of sexual abuse at a school for native children, and as her growing attraction for a new neighbor begins to conflict with her sense that he's somehow involved in the crimes.
