Product Information
Delany delivers an outstanding debut novel that explores the good, the bad, and the ugly of family relationships. -- Booklist Rebecca McKenzie, a successful Vancouver businesswoman, returns to tiny Hope River after an absence of 30 years to attend her mother's funeral. Estranged from her father and two older siblings, she'd left a brutal childhood and a psychopathic grandfather behind. She expects her visit to be short. But then she discovers the diaries written by her mother, a British war bride with a young baby who came to Canada to join a husband she scarcely knew, and finds her heart wrung by her mother's story. Meanwhile, a young girl has gone missing, and suspicion falls on Rebecca's handsome, charming brother Jimmy. Before long, violence threatens and Rebecca must put aside some long-held grievances to cut to the heart of the crime.

Reviews
Vicki Delany has a great narrative voice, fine, well-developed characters and a real eye for the small details that keep a novel in place. Her solid debut is set in the small farming community of Hope River, in northern Ontario. Rebecca McKenzie is a recently widowed financial whiz, who's come from Vancouver for her mother's funeral. This is her first visit to Hope River since she left for university 30 years before. She has no good memories of the place, other than her mother, and she's prepared to believe the worst of everyone. Including, possibly, that her brother might be a rapist and a murderer. Rebecca's self-discoveries are the best part of the book, and ultimately, the murder is less a whodunit than a story about coming to terms with loss. This is Faye Kellerman territory. -- Globe & Mail (Toronto, Canada), The idea of a woman returning for the first time in the 30 years since she fled from her dysfunctional, small-town family gets a poetic, honest and believably frightening treatment in this first mystery by Vicki Delany, one of Canada's most promising new practitioners of the crime genre. (I should note that Poisoned Pen Press has agreed--for reasons best known to its editors--to publish a collection of my reviews and essays in the fall.) A major part of Delany's success is the mixture of love and anger with which she describes life in Hope River, the Ontario village where Rebecca McKenzie grew up and where little has changed since she escaped, first to Toronto and then to Vancouver. "We walked silently back to the house," McKenzie says. "The cloud blanket dispersed as night settled in but the moon had not yet risen. With no high leafy trees to shade them, the harsh yellow light from the street lamps shone far too bright, blocking any sight of stars on this clear night." But the heartbreaking spine of "Scare the Light Away" is the diary of McKenzie's mother, a revealing and vivid document that not only helps advance the mystery's plot (a young girl has been murdered, and McKenzie's troubled brother is a leading suspect) but that also shows how bleak life was in Hope River during World War II--especially when one of the men left behind was a British war bride's insane father-in-law. Delany does everything right, adding enough twists to a familiar story to make her Hope River, past and present, the place from which we all could have escaped. -- Dick Adler, Chicago Tribune (6 March 2005), The idea of a woman returning for the first time in the 30 years since she fled from her dysfunctional, small-town family gets a poetic, honest and believably frightening treatment in this first mystery by Vicki Delany, one of Canada's most promising new practitioners of the crime genre.

Arrived quickly and in good condition. Advertised as a signed edition but I cannot locate the signature, anywhere in or on the book. I reluctantly removed one star from the item description for that, but I must admit that I always receive a very good copy from Thrift books and will continue to do business with them
