Amateurs
by Norman Reed Paterson


In this, his third mystery novel, Norman Paterson’s talent is in full sail, taking us into a harbour that should be safe, a luxurious retirement community in Sothern Georgian Bay. But it is 2020. Ted, a resident of long, worldly experience, discovers a murdered body along a walking trail. With his friend Beth, these amateur detectives travel the shores of Georgian Bay and nearby Michigan, discovering international drug smuggling and love in old age. Then the sudden lockdown of the COVID-19 pandemic. This is real life story telling, full of heart, humour, danger and universal consequences.


"A uniquely delightful read with adventurous old people who have learned to carry the weight of life more lightly." —Dorris Heffron, author of City Wolves and other novels.
