Death in a Darkening Mist

In Death in a Darkening Mist author, we meet again with Lane Winslow whom we had met in the first installment. Lane had initially worked for the British Secret Intelligence service. This time around, Lane Winslow finds herself at the center of another murder mystery, when she decides to visit one of the local hot springs just near her town with one of her local friends. Winslow is 26 years old. After retiring from the British Secret Service, she decided to settle in the King’s Cove. The main reason why she decided to settle in the King’s Cove is that she believed that the place was a small and quiet village free from all the drama of the major cities. However, in this second installment, the protagonist, Winslow is once again drawn back into the spy business. The man who has been killed is Russian. Because Lane Winslow can speak fluent Russian, she is asked to serve as the official translator for the local police, including a love interest, Inspector Darling.

The dead man is identified as one Victor Strelieff, who has been living with a pacifist community, the Doukhobors. As the investigation continues, it is identified that the man was shot using a rare gun, which was used during the resistance movement in the war. This, in turn, means that this was not an accident, and the man had been targeted. As expected, Winslow’s works move slowly from translation to sleuthing. Away from the killing, it is established that there was a person who was skimming money from various bank accounts in the small town. Set in the year 1946, the Death in a Darkening Mist combines both elements of a spy and cozy thriller, with a protagonist who is not only independent but tough as well. The romance between Inspector Darling and Winslow slowly plays out, and both these characters have their reasons for avoiding a romantic relationship. The locals are quirky and a great addition to the novel.

Ever since she had settled into the small town, Winslow had been working alongside Inspector Darling and Ames. This time around she decides to find out, who may have a motivation to kill. As the investigation continues, several facts that she has desperately been trying to keep a secret are revealed.
