About this ebook

This fifth in the bestselling, award-winning Arthur Beauchamp series finds the outwardly crusty, poetry-loving, wily old lawyer compelled, by new developments, to look back at his first -- and most disastrous -- murder trial. While renewing his annual try for the Most Points in Vegetables and Fruits at the Garibaldi Island Fall Fair, Arthur Beauchamp is forced by new developments to revisit his first murder trial, which went horribly wrong. Now, nearly 50 years later, he is opening old wounds but also facing a chance for redemption and reconciliation.

Ratings and reviews

Excellent - especially if you live in Vancouver for 50 years and know the Islands; these people are all real with slightly different names: gossipy, laughable (out loud) endearing. "The bird does not sing because it has an answer It sings because it has a song" repeateddtoomany times but this is what he does what he's doing.
