Alberg & Cassandra

A character-driven, psychologically astute series set on the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia, by award-winning mystery writer L.R. Wright. Karl Alberg of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police begins the series as a newcomer to the small village of Sechelt, a posting that he imagines will be a respite from his stressful life as a big-city cop. As the series progresses, his investigations uncover the dark side of idyllic small-town life, and Alberg's love interest, insightful local librarian Cassandra Mitchell, is a fascinating character in her own right.

And if you like to "read and watch"...these Canadian mystery classics now have a gorgeous TV-drama adaptation—Murder in a Small Town, airing on FOX and Hulu!
