Broken For You - Paperback

by Deborah Suddard (Author)

Life is quiet in the charming town of Dalhousie, New Brunswick, nestled on the shores of the Bay, where everyone knows their neighbours and the lobster catch is the main conversation in the coffee shop. However a gruesome discovery in a private chapel just before Easter weekend, threatens that sense of calm.

A woman's naked body splayed on the alter. Curious onlookers who won't talk. A false identity and a life lived in secret. Before they discover who killed her, they have to learn who she was.

Kendra Ward has been advising the RCMP for over a decade, investigating religious hate crimes and teaching others about tolerance. With her team by her side, she enters a world of symbolism and silence. She has seen a lot over the years, but this latest murder might hit too close to home.

What a thriller! I'm on the edge of my seat - Megan

You've managed to make all of the history and the church politics really relevant, both to the characters and to me with a greater understanding of the story. The little touches, like the reference to the Song of Solomon (and the explanation, which I would never had known what it was otehrwise) is so interesting, and given everything a much stronger meaning in context. Lovely work! - Cara

Intense and complex plot. Fiery, religious, and demented passion run amok - Murphy
