Description

A pretty little town
An inheritance
A break-in
A body


Edie Doyle may be new in town, but she's about to uncover long-held secrets. Secrets someone will do anything to protect.

When her Great Aunt Jane dies, Edie inherits her house—and a load of trouble. The frozen corpse is just the beginning.

Can she trust her binocular-wielding neighbour, or the handsome pub owner? And what about the motives of a dead woman? Jane abandoned her when she was a child. Why make Edie her heir now?

As the threats get personal and the danger grows, Edie discovers that someone wants her gone—by any means necessary.

But she has secrets of her own, and she won't leave until she's ready.

Delving into the past is always dangerous. This time, it could be deadly.

Too Far to Fall was long listed for the Crime Writers' Association Debut Dagger Award, and shortlisted for the Crime Writers of Canada's Unhanged Arthur Ellis Award. 

This is the first book in the Edie Doyle Mystery series—for fans of small town cozies and golden age mysteries.

    This is a great read. The characters are solid, strongly built. Could be someone you know. Wonderful descriptive prose, excellent use of language and well-paced. Some typos but not enough to interfere with the read. I'm a fan of the Edie Doyle mysteries and will be reading more of them!
  • Loved it!

    I really loved this book and if I had the words to express the joy of reading something so well written, I would be able to write books myself! I enjoyed the entire story. From someone who actually paid attention in their English courses all the way through using great words without being wordy! There’s suspense, mystery, perhaps budding romance. It’s definitely harkens me back to Nancy Drew mysteries! Can’t wait to read more so I purchased the set! Thank you Shane Sawyer! Best of luck in future endeavors!

    The author has a talent for creating characters that draw emotion. Some you cheer for, some you boo. The story was well written and drew me in from the first page. It was a truly enjoyable read, and I will read work by this author again.

    Intriguing mystery! I also love part of the real effects of making the St. Laurence Seaway on the small establishments on both sides of the river!

    It was very good. Kept you guessing. I loved the way I could see all the characters in my mind. That is a biggy for me.
