Murders or a series of coincidences?
Charlie is worried her ex-PI husband, Simm, is bored with his new role helping her manage their pubs in Montreal. Offered the chance to investigate the disappearance of a man the previous year, Charlie convinces Simm to take the case. Besides, a few days in the Gatineau region of Quebec might be the best thing for them and their relationship.
Charlie and Simm discover the case may involve a series of dubious vanishings that were written off as presumed drownings. They’re drawn into a tangle of small-town relationships between long-time locals, wealthy summer residents, and a hermit with his own secrets. Unfortunately, someone doesn’t appreciate their efforts to meddle in the past. Is a serial killer at work? Was a fatal car accident somehow tied to the disappearances? Does Simm’s family have a connection to the tragedies in the small town of Wakefield? Charlie and Simm need to tie up loose ends before they join the growing list of victims.
The Other Side: A Charlie & Simm Mystery is another fast-paced suspenseful novel with a twist. It reunites readers with characters introduced in Sins of the Fathers by award-winning author A.J. McCarthy.
