The Trouble with Friday

About the Book

The Trouble with Friday takes its readers on a roller coaster of adventure and laughter, while delving into the frightening reality of underworld brutality. This cozy mystery explores the entangled web of crime and violence—where innocence becomes the victim, and evil threatens a peaceful town.

When My Dog Friday brings his owner a special treasure, Daisy Blossom contacts self-appointed sleuth Emily Blossom to solve a mystery of murder and intrigue. In spite of a daunting lack of suspects, Detective Emily’s quest for truth and justice is remarkable, especially considering her age (beyond calculation), and her height (a mere one metre and a half, barely five feet tall). She enlists the help of her friend, antique dealer Pete Picken, and his truck, much to his dismay and protestation. The sleepy village of Emerald Hill in Eastern Ontario, Canada, is rife with rumours and gossip about their adventures.

“The Trouble with Friday sends chills down your spine, even while you’re laughing … Emily does it again!”
