Book 6
A Match Made for Murder
Praise for the Lane Winslow Mysteries
“A
nostalgic look at postwar Canada melds with a riveting tale of old and
new Russia as its deeply nuanced characters lurch from one dangerous
situation to the next.” ―
Kirkus Reviews
“Another fantastic
entry in the unique and compelling Lane Winslow series! Filled with
intrigue, deception, twisted loyalties, and a touch of romance, readers
will stand up and cheer.” ―Anna Lee Huber, author of the Lady Darby
Mysteries and the Verity Kent Mysteries
“It's always a pleasure
to return to King's Cove and be swept away by another Lane Winslow tale.
This latest instalment―rich with intrigue, humour, murder and
romance―underlines why Whishaw's books have fast become my favourite
mystery series.” ―Kerry Clare, editor 49th Shelf, author of
Mitzi Bytes
"Iona
Whishaw has again raised the bar . . . This is seriously good
storytelling that continues to earn its place among the finest mystery
writing in Canada." ―Don Graves, Canadian Mystery Reviews
Iona Whishaw
Iona Whishaw has been a youth
worker, social worker, teacher and an award winning High School
Principal, who continued with her writing throughout her working life.
Receiving her Masters in Creative writing from UBC, Iona has published
short fiction, poetry, poetry translation and one children's book, Henry
and the Cow Problem. The Lane Winslow mystery series is her first foray
into adult fiction.
Iona was born in Kimberley BC, but grew up
in a number of different places, including a small community on Kootenay
Lake, as well as Mexico and Central America, and the US because of her
father's geological work. She took a degree in history and education
from Antioch College, and subsequent degrees in Writing at UBC and
pedagogy at Simon Fraser University. Her own writing output took a brief
back seat during her teaching career, but she shared her passion for
writing by nurturing a love of writing in the students in English,
Creative Writing, and Spanish classes. During the course of her career
as a Principal in Vancouver she was awarded the Woman of Distinction in
Education by the YWCA in 2010 and a Canada's Outstanding Principals
award in 2012.
Her hobbies have included dance, painting,
reading, and gardening. She currently is a vocalist for a small Balkan
dance band in Vancouver, and is patiently waiting for her next
opportunity to engage in her current pash, long distance, cross country
rambling in England.
She is married, has one son and two grandsons, and lives in Vancouver with her artist husband, Terry Miller.
