Crooked Lake by Nelson Brunanski
43. - 298.) Crooked Lake by Nelson Brunanski – A murder mystery set in rural Saskatchewan. The initial fun was identifying the real name of Crooked Lake. It took me about 40-45 pages. Bart Bartowski is an easy going, old timer hockey player who runs a fly-in fishing camp in northern Saskatchewan. As a member of the Regional Lake and Golf Course Board he decides he must investigate the bludgeoning death on the golf course of fellow board member, Harvey Kristoff, even though he disliked Kristoff. Getting knocked out and almost killed does not deter him. A second murder and RCMP anger over his investigation barely slow him. His wife, Rosie, and son, Stuart, and daughter, Annie, worry about him. Yet again a Saskatchewan mystery where the hero has a real family. It is a good story that faithfully depicts life in rural Saskatchewan. The only flaws are the errors in the description of criminal law. An excellent first mystery. (Sept. 10/05)
