I first met Cathy Ace at Malice Domestic, and later had the pleasure of working with her on the Board of Directors for Crime Writers of Canada, when she served as President. In fact, I can thank Cathy for recruiting me to the Board as a representative for Toronto/Southern Ontario. But enough about me! Let’s see what Cathy has to share with us today.

Book Title: The Wrong Boy
Book Genre: Psychological suspense
Release Date: Jan. 9, 2019

Synopsis: Perched on a Welsh clifftop, the ancient, picturesque hamlet of Rhosddraig has its peaceful façade ripped apart when human remains are discovered under a pile of stones. The village pub, The Dragon’s Head, run by three generations of women, becomes the focal point for those interested in the grisly find, and it’s where layers of deceit are peeled away to expose old secrets, and deep wounds. The police need to establish who died, how, and why, but DI Evan Glover knows he can’t be involved in the investigation, because he’s just two days away from retirement. However, as the case develops in unexpected ways, it becomes irrevocably woven into his life, and the lives of local families, leading to disturbing revelations – and deadly consequences . . .
About the author: Cathy Ace’s criminal psychologist, overindulgent-foodie sleuth, Cait Morgan, has stumbled upon Corpses with a Silver Tongue, Golden Nose, Diamond Hand, Garnet Face, an Emerald Thumb, Platinum Hair and Ruby Lips during her globetrotting. Ace’s WISE Enquiries Agency series features four softly-boiled female PIs who solve quintessentially British cases from their stately home-based office in rural Wales, where Cathy was born and raised. Shortlisted for the Bony Blithe Award for Best Light Mystery by a Canadian three times in four years, winning in 2015, she was also shortlisted for the Arthur Ellis Award for Best Short Story in 2017.

Thanks Grace. Cathy’s traveling right now, so it may be a while before she reads your comment, but thanks for stopping by. She’s a Canadian treasure!
I had the pleasure of meeting Cathy Ace when we were both filling bags with books at Malice Domestic. I look forward to reading her latest.
Hello there Grace – yes, Judy’s right that I am currently away from my office…but I well-recall that day. Around and around we went, putting books into bags and getting “warmer” by the minute. I’m pretty sure everyone was grateful – and you get to meet the nicest people when you’re volunteering to help such a great cause! Happy reading, Grace, and I hope to see you maybe at Malice again in 2019, Cathy
