Book description

The will was very specific: one Victorian mansion, one chocolate shop, one set of skeleton keys.

The will did not mention the murder club. Or the murder.

Maris MacWhorter arrived on Cape Breton Island with one plan: sell the chocolate shop she'd just inherited from her ex-mother-in-law Eileen, collect the check, and get back to civilization. She did not plan on the asthmatic dog named Angus MacBagpipe, or the book club that wasn't a book club. She did not plan on her nine-year-old daughter Bea—already a fluent reader of Tana French—treating Eileen's death as her first real case. And she really did not plan on the growing suspicion that Bea might be right: that Eileen's fall from the coastal cliffs wasn't an accident at all.

S.R. Chamberlain holds a Ph.D. from UC-Berkeley and was a faculty member at St. John's College in Santa Fe, New Mexico, until she was fired for writing prose that was described as—she swears this is true—"too polished." She has been visiting Nova Scotia and Cape Breton Island since 2011, when she attended her first Celtic Colours festival. She recently discovered that she qualifies for Canadian citizenship by ancestry, which means that multiplying temperatures by nine-fifths in her head may not be an entirely fictional scenario for much longer. A Murder Most Un-Canadian is her first novel. Her work was shortlisted in 2025 for both the UK Crime Writers' Association Emerging Dagger Prize and Killer Nashville's Claymore Prize. For now, she still lives in Santa Fe with her husband and her eight-year-old daughter, who is also obsessed with cozy mysteries, dark chocolate, and acquiring a companion animal in a tartan sweater who may or may not solve crimes.
