From Sweetgrass Bridge

By (author): Anthony Bidulka

A nation holds its breath.

On a perfect prairie summer evening, Saskatchewan Roughrider Dustin Thomson goes missing. As the Green & White’s first primary quarterback born in the province and first Indigenous quarterback, Thomson is beloved and celebrated. Mistrusting the police investigation, the family hires Merry Bell P.I. to find the football star. From the dark waters below Sweetgrass Bridge to the lands of Little Turtle Lake First Nation, Merry seeks answers while dealing with her continuing transition, swelling loneliness, a floundering career, well-meaning crossdressing assistant and having to decide whether the people in her life are friend or foe.

Reviews

“…transformative facelift given to the cozy mystery genre…” Midwest Book Reviewn“…a fresh narrative that effectively employs the familiar beats of classic detective fiction. A suspenseful and resonant story that will captivate dedicated mystery fans and newcomers alike..” Kirkus Reviewsn“…unique, queer positive, and universally appealing—a must-read…” Independent Book Reviewn“Bidulka deftly melds murder, humor, and the past’s festering wounds.” Lavender Magazinen“…Bidulka’s appeal for all to recognize and respond to what we share in common is compelling.” Reviewing the Evidencen“…the sheer intricacy of the plot—replete with false starts, red herrings and lingering uncertainties—makes this a plot-driven book as much as a character-driven one.” Alberta Views Magazinen“…the complexity of relationships explored was breathtaking.” Mysteries & More
