Deadly Care: A Claire Burke Mystery

Who could be killing off patients in an extended-care hospital? The only clue is that all the victims complained a lot. Surely, that’s not the reason for murdering them, argue Claire Burke and her pal Tia. But when the local police in Edmonton–Inspector McCoy and Sergeant Crombie–seem unable to solve the mysterious crimes, Claire and Tia set up a complex plan to catch the killer in his or her tracks. And as Tia’s mother is a patient at the hospital in question, the women are doubly motivated. Of course, Claire has a lot on her plate with managing her co-op for disabled adults, and Tia is a new mom with a breast-feeding infant. Two more unlikely crime fighters you couldn’t find, but that won’t stop Claire and Tia–and, it turns out–practically an entire village of supporting players. Will they find this murderer before another elderly patient succumbs?
