About this listen

It’s early spring 1948 and Lane arrives in New Denver to find that her friend, Peter Barisoff, is not at home. Instead, in a nearby meadow, she encounters Tom, an Indigenous man in search of his ancestral lands. Lane is intrigued. Unfortunately, once Peter returns home, the day takes a gloomy turn when the trio uncovers human remains next to Peter’s garden, and Lane must tell her husband, Inspector Darling, that she’s inadvertently stumbled into his professional domain—again.

Back in Nelson, the Vitalis, Lane and Darling’s favourite restaurateurs, are victims of arson. Constable Terrell’s investigation suggests prejudice as a motive, and the case quickly escalates, as the Vitalis receive increasingly threatening notes of warning. Meanwhile, Sergeant Ames works a robbery while alienating Tina Van Eyck in his personal time, and a swirling rumour sets the entire station on edge and prompts an RCMP investigation into Darling’s integrity.

Amid the local bustle series fans have come to love, Framed in Fire is bound up in difficult questions of community and belonging, and the knowledge that trusted neighbours can sometimes be as sinister as a stranger in the dark.

As someone who has grown up in the Slocan Valley it’s really magical travelling back in time to when my grandparents would have been young, hearing about ‘ weekly shopping trips to Nelson’ and figuring out the name changed location. It’s so fun!
My one very serious complaint is the mispronunciation of Kootenay and Vallican. It’s really quite painful when you’ve lived somewhere all your life to hear them so terrible mispronounced, Vallican in particular.

Love this series!

I loved how the author weaves her story together. The history of the Lakes people was a wonderful addition. We love this series.
