I’ve known Karen Grose since our days shared on the Board of Directors at Crime Writers of Canada. I’m a fan of Karen as a person, and admire her as an author. It’s my pleasure to introduce you to her latest book, All June Left Behind.
Title: All June Left Behind
About the book: Set in Ontario, Canada, All June Left Behind is a mystery that tells the tale of an introverted farmer who discovers that opening his heart to others may be the only way to confront the painful truth about his beloved wife’s murder.
Ray had it all—a loving relationship with his wife June, a busy farm, and two beautiful grown children. Until the night June was shot on their fortieth anniversary during a botched robbery at a restaurant. Two years after June’s death, the man convicted of her murder is granted a new trial.
Horrified by the prospect his wife’s killer might walk free, Ray vows to take justice into his own hands. But when rumours surface about his wife, Ray teams up with young crack reporter Fan Mohamed to dig into June’s past. They discover a long-buried police case, a shocking murder-mystery with connections to June’s family, that has never been resolved.
Caught in a web of secrets and a race against time, Ray, his children, and Fan must band together to uncover who killed June…before the killer finds them.
