Butterfly Kills: A Stonechild and Rouleau Mystery

Altogether, Butterfly Kills is a very satisfying novel Kingston Whig-Standard

What makes this mystery most interesting are the tightly knit details. Chapman never tips her hand as she presents readers with a wide-open field of suspects. For the majority of the novel, the list of potential culprits is lengthy, and the author skillfully deploys twists and decoys to misdirect us, while also dropping tiny clues to help make the final reveal seem perfectly logical.
