Monday October 10th was Thanksgiving in Canada. I am thankful for these books by Canadian authors:
Still life / Louise Penny

The calling / Inger Ash Wolfe
When a terminally ill woman is found brutally murdered in her home, Detective Inspector Hazel Micallef tracks a terrifying serial killer, who targets terminally ill victims whose bodies are found drained of blood with their mouths sculpted into strange shapes.

The outlander : a novel / Gil Adamson
Fleeing the law in 1903 after killing her husband, Mary Boulton races toward the mountains while being tormented by visions about the cold-blooded brothers-in-law who pursue her, a situation that forces her to retreat deeper into the wilds of the West and her own imagination.
A matter of class / Mary Balogh
After his father forces him to become engaged to Lady Annabelle Ashton, a woman who has been disgraced by a scandal, Reginald Mason finds that his new fiancâee shares his resentment toward the impending marriage.
