I don't know why but I thought this was going to be more of a cozy mystery,and I do enjoy them, but what I really love is a meaty thriller that I totally lose myself in, and I'm very pleased to say that this totally meets that description.I loved Molly what a great character, and her Mum too, and I loved the descriptions of the town and the surrounding scenery makes me want to go and visit.Walt was a great character too in fact all the characters were very well drawn but not at the expense of the story and the action, for me this book had it all.and I couldn't read it fast enough.it's going to take a seriously good book to take my mind off this one even though I've finished it.I can't recommend this one enough no spoilers but it was a cracking thriller that for me had it all.I want to read more by this author for sure., I don't know why but I thought this was going to be more of a cozy mystery,and I do enjoy them, but what I really love is a meaty thriller that I totally lose myself in, and I'm very pleased to say that this totally meets that description.

It's going to take a seriously good book to take my mind off this one even though I've finished it. I can't recommend this one enough no spoilers but it was a cracking thriller that for me had it all. I want to read more by this author for sure., ...Delaney does a good job providing an unsavory view of old-boy small-town cop cliques, reminding us that some people don't get what they deserve., Told cleverly and in a methodical manner the story unfolded in stages and you knew you were getting somewhere., It's been a couple of years since readers have been treated to a new Constable Molly Smith tale from Vicki Delany, but that's not to say she's been idle. In the interim the talented Canadian novelist has launched not one, but two new series, both cozies, bringing her total literary output to nearly two dozen series or standalone works, while also performing her duties as president of the Crime Writers of Canada. One gets the impression that in her spare time Vicki Delany juggles chainsaws just to keep her life interesting.~~~The wait hasn't been in vain. Delany's tenth and latest foray into the goings-on in the mountain resort town of Trafalgar BC finds the community once again embroiled in controversy, as the return of a former resident stirs up old memories and bitter feelings and threatens to expose a dark chapter of Trafalgar's past.~~~Walt Desmond is returning home. He's been imprisoned for twenty-five years, convicted of sexually assaulting and brutally murdering a twenty-two-year-old woman, Sophia D'Angelo, in 1991. But a recent appeal has resulted in his conviction being overturned, the result, it seems, of shoddy investigative work on the part of the Trafalgar City Police Department.~~~Some residents are unconvinced. They see Walt's release as merely another example of clever lawyers manipulating the legal system for their own ends. Within the Trafalgar PD the conflict is especially heated, as people line up on both sides of the dispute. And the tension only rises when it becomes clear that Walt has returned looking for answers.~~~Police Chief Paul Keller and Detective Sergeant John Winters attempt to keep a lid on things, pointing out that as Desmond's conviction was overturned, he has every right to return to Trafalgar. But when a woman--Winters' own wife--and then another--are assaulted, suspicion lands squarely on Desmond, and even career officers want to take matters into their own hands. And lurking in the background is one of the original investigating officers in the D'Angelo murder, a troubled man with strong feelings of his own.~~~From its outset in 2007 the Constable Molly Smith series has been a strong contender, with its engaging cast of characters, atmospheric settings, and well-structured plots. But in UNREASONABLE DOUBT Delany has ramped her work up a notch: the writing is more self-assured, the treatment of the characters is more nuanced, and the narrative nicely builds toward the climax. Delany's latest work can hold its own against anything in the genre being published today. Witness the evocative opening passage of UNREASONABLE DOUBT:~~~Walter Desmond felt something move, something low in his belly that he might once have recognized as happiness. It had been many years since he'd known what happiness felt like. He gazed out the window of the bus, full of wonder. The mountains were so high, the slopes closing in on the highway, their ragged tops still white with snow even though it was July. In the valleys, lakes and rivers sparkled blue in the sunlight.~~~A shade of blue he'd forgotten could exist.~~~Adding to its literary merits Delany's exploration of a significant and complex social theme, and UNREASONABLE DOUBT is clearly her strongest work to date, well worth the wait., From its outset in 2007 the Constable Molly Smith series has been a strong contender, with its engaging cast of characters, atmospheric settings, and well-structured plots.

Firstly I would like to thank Netgalley and Poisoned Pen Press for an advance copy of Unreasonable Doubt which is a pleasant, cozy police procedural about a miscarriage and justice and what happens afterwards. Walter Desmond is exonerated after 25 years in prison for the murder of Sophia D'Angelo when fresh evidence is uncovered which implies at least police incompetence and at worst corruption. He returns to his home town of Trafalgar, British Colombia but not everyone welcomes him with open arms and he soon meets trouble in the form of the D'Angelo family and some rogue police officers trying to run him out of town... I enjoyed Unreasonable Doubt which has a clever plot with some good twists and it held my interest throughout. I do think, however, that the novel's main strength is its examination of small town prejudice where, whilst some people are prepared to accept the court's decision many can't accept that the police got it wrong all those years ago and are quick to jump to conclusions about Walt's guilt when a rapist becomes active in the town... Normally I read grittier fare than Unreasonable Doubt but it makes for a pleasant change. It is well plotted and written with ordinary characters - hardly a hang up in sight - which make it an easy, undemanding read but not boring. If you want to while away a few hours with an interesting plot and pleasant characters which don't overtax the brain This is a good way to do it., He always claimed he was innocent of the crime he was jailed for. Now, after 25 years, his case has been turned over and he's set free. Despite advice from his attorney, he goes home. More realistically, he goes to the village he used to live in. No one is very welcoming and most people still think he's guilty. Even the cops aren't sure... The plot was interesting and a bit twisted in nature. I like Molly and her police techniques and this book made John Winter shine. He's another excellent cop. It's not a perfect ending but it is a realistic one. Even Walter has some hope at the end., Great cover! Dragon boating is huge in Vancouver where I live so it is quite a familiar sight. I love the Constable Molly Smith series set in British Columbia's Kootenay region by author Vicki Delany. Delany captures the essence of the town of Trafalgar (based on the real city of Nelson) perfectly. She also portrays Hope and Vancouver realistically as well. I enjoyed the tale opening in Hope...I had never really thought about the steep mountains there as being suffocating. Interesting perspective...to me Hope is just Hope! We eat breakfast there quite often on our adventures!~~~I have read all the previous books in the Constable Molly Smith series and I like that the continuity is always there. I have enjoyed following the characters journeys. Vicki Delany is a great writer who knows how to plot a mystery.~~~Unreasonable Doubt follows the story of Walter Desmond a former Trafalgar realtor. He was wrongly convicted of murder and is back in town...why? You would think he would go far away but back he is. Most people are not happy to see him. He is staying at a B&B that is hosting a number of women who are in town for fun and dragon boat racing. At least the ladies there are visitors who are friendly to him.~~~In Unreasonable Doubt, Sergeant Winter's wife is assaulted, then one of the dragon boat ladies at the B&B where Walter is staying. And the rumors start buzzing about B&B guest Walter. Constable Molly Smith has to deal with other members of the force bad behavior toward Walter. But good police work prevails and the ending is very satisfying.~~~Highly recommend Unreasonable Doubt by Vicki Delany. Looking forward to the next book set in Trafalgar!, Walt Desmond has served 25 years in prison for the brutal killing of a young woman in Trafalgar, BC. All along he protested that he was innocent, refusing to confess even though that might have lessened his sentence somewhat. His wife died while he was in prison and he has lost everything. However, new evidence has turned up indicating either the Trafalgar PD framed him or the investigation was completely incompetent. After he is exonerated, Walt's attorney advises him to stay away from Trafalgar but Walt returns anyway. He has a pretty good idea who might have framed him but needs to know why in order to get on with his life, despite a large cash settlement coming his way... Molly Smith was no more than an infant when the original case occurred, but if Walt Desmond didn't kill the girl, then who did? She and Sargeant John Winters are assigned to reopen the case. Feelings are running high in Trafalgar between those who remember the case and think Walt was guilty, despite his exoneration, and those who think the police were responsible. Among those most upset are the family of the dead girl, who are adamant that he was guilty. Molly and Winters must walk a tightrope between the factions, some within the police department itself. When two women are attacked in Trafalgar; one of whom is Eliza, Winters' wife, feelings begin to boil over... Unreasonable Doubt is a nice mix of police procedural and the personal lives of Molly and her family and that of John Winters. I have really grown to like the characters over the course of the series, especially Lucky, Molly's mom. Lucky came to Canada with Molly's father during the Vietnam War and never went back. They built a successful life in Canada and Lucky's politics never changed. She is involved in every protest, knows everyone in town, and is a shrewd judge of character. I think Delany did a particularly good job in showing just what it is like to lose 25 years of your life for a crime you did not commit. Sadly, Canada does not seem to do much better than the US in these cases, of which there are too many. A nice cash payout is good, but hardly compensation for a ruined life., 4.5 Stars I really liked this book a LOT. A man is proven innocent after spending 25 years in prison for a murder he did not commit. Of course, most of the town is against him and do horrible things to him. The cops being the worst.~~~When the investigation is reopened, and the new investigator gets involved, it is amazing what actually happened. This one wanted to make just slap somebody to realize that there people out there like this. Of course, any book that can rile up that kind of emotion out of me tells me, it's a dang good book.~~~Thanks go Poisoned Pen Press for approving my request and to Net Galley for providing the free e-galley in exchange for an honest review. This one is sure to delight and get your blood boiling!, **** A Pleasant Read~~~Firstly I would like to thank Netgalley and Poisoned Pen Press for an advance copy of Unreasonable Doubt which is a pleasant, cozy police procedural about a miscarriage and justice and what happens afterwards.

If you want to while away a few hours with an interesting plot and pleasant characters which don't overtax the brain This is a good way to do it., A man cleared of murder charges returns to his British Columbia hometown to get some answers. Walter Desmond spent 25 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit. It seems clear that the police in Trafalgar hid evidence that would have exonerated him. Desmond just wants to know why. His lawyer is suing the province for $5 million, and the Trafalgar force, most of whom weren't there when the murder occurred, are instructed to treat Desmond as any ordinary citizen. Sgt. John Winters is given the cold case. When he and Chief Constable Paul Keller pay a visit to the family of the victim, Sophia D'Angelo, they find them embittered and still convinced that Desmond is guilty despite all the evidence to the contrary. The town is deeply divided, and the one remaining police officer from that time--another is retired and lives nearby--won't believe that his friends railroaded Desmond. Constable Molly Smith, whose mother, Lucky, still retains her 1960s ideals even though she's the unlikely partner of Paul Keller, must confront at least one fellow officer who's hassling Desmond. Helped in part by a sympathetic woman staying at his B&B who's visiting the popular tourist town with her dragon boat crew, Desmond stoically puts up with the verbal abuse. As Winters delves into the past, cracks appear both in the evidence and in the perception of Sophia, who was not the quiet, obedient young woman her family and friends described but a sneaky hell-raiser who tormented her younger brother and pulled the wool over her doting parents' eyes. Winters and Smith face hostility, and Desmond receives threats as well, as they work to find the truth. Delany's excellent new procedural (Under Cold Stone, 2014, etc.) is a real page-turner, ratcheting up the tension as each secret from the past is painfully revealed., Delany's excellent new procedural ( Under Cold Stone , 2014, etc.) is a real page-turner, ratcheting up the tension as each secret from the past is painfully revealed., This is a very well-written police procedural set in a small town in British Columbia, Canada. The book is part of a series referred to as the "Constable Molly Smith" novels. It's interesting that Molly takes the center-stage when she is not a high-ranking detective. Sergeant John Winters, as well as Molly's mother, Lucky, also play important roles in the investigation. All three could be considered the main characters of the book (and the others in the series) and all are likable characters who are easy to relate to, especially in this installment of the series... "Unreasonable Doubt" is my favorite in this series. The conviction in a murder trial is overturned and the man who served time for twenty-five years returns to the scene of the crime and the citizens of Trafalgar are suspicious of his new "innocent" status. I was fearful this would end up being predicable, but the direction of the story was unexpected and I was pleased with the twists and turns the book took. This well-written series reminds me of Naomi Hirahara's Ellie Rush series, and I enjoyed the likable characters and the complex plot very much., The detective Molly and the series is a new one for me and one I will definitely be keeping an eye out for...Told cleverly and in a methodical manner the story unfolded in stages and you knew you were getting somewhere., 4.5 Stars I really liked this book a LOT.

Thanks go Poisoned Pen Press for approving my request and to Net Galley for providing the free e-galley in exchange for an honest review. This one is sure to delight and get your blood boiling!, The author has written an interesting take on the subject, especially with regard to the advisability of whether Desmond should, so to speak, return to the scene of the crime to find out why he was picked to be the murderer, or just remain in Vancouver and not face a hostile population. An excellent series, well-written and always thought-provoking, and recommended., Walt Desmond spent 25 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit... No one understands why he would return to the town in British Columbia that betrayed him. And then the attacks begin again. Delany's eighth series title (after Under Cold Stone ) is a taut, well-written whodunit., The detective Molly and the series is a new one for me and one I will definitely be keeping an eye out for...

I found "Unreasonable Doubt" to be a very enjoyable read and look forward to checking out future books in the Molly Smith series., Twenty-five years earlier Walter Desmond was convicted of a bloody rape and murder. He is now back in Talfalgar, B C a free man when the appeals court through out the conviction and order a new trial. Tension in town is high because many feel that Walter is a killer. Two attempted rapes do nothing to quiet the feelings of the residents. Molly along with all the other officers have been ordered to leave alone. His lawyer is seeking damages from the town and any contact could be considered harassment. The original case has been reopened. Molly need to keep tempers from exploding and sees a couple of officers threatened Walter. Is he guilty or framed? The descriptions describing the area and tensions put you on spot. All the players in the series are present. This book can be read alone. I have read only one other and look forward to reading the rest of the series., He always claimed he was innocent of the crime he was jailed for.

Walt Desmond, an innocent man, has been released from prison after spending 25 years there for a murder he did not commit. He wants to know WHY people lied and did not find the real murderer SO he heads back to Trafalgar to find out. The town is divided with some thinking he is guilty and others feeling he got a raw deal. This is a story of miscarriage of justice and finding out, eventually what really happened.

He was wrongly convicted of murder and is back in town...why? You would think he would go far away but back he is. Most people are not happy to see him. He is staying at a B&B that is hosting a number of women who are in town for fun and dragon boat racing. At least the ladies there are visitors who are friendly to him... In Unreasonable Doubt , Sergeant Winter's wife is assaulted, then one of the dragon boat ladies at the B&B where Walter is staying. And the rumors start buzzing about B&B guest Walter. Constable Molly Smith has to deal with other members of the force bad behavior toward Walter. But good police work prevails and the ending is very satisfying... Highly recommend Unreasonable Doubt by Vicki Delany. Looking forward to the next book set in Trafalgar!, Unreasonable Doubt is a nice mix of police procedural and the personal lives of Molly and her family and that of John Winters. I have really grown to like the characters over the course of the series, especially Lucky, Molly's mom. Lucky came to Canada with Molly's father during the Vietnam War and never went back. They built a successful life in Canada and Lucky's politics never changed. She is involved in every protest, knows everyone in town, and is a shrewd judge of character. I think Delany did a particularly good job in showing just what it is like to lose 25 years of your life for a crime you did not commit. Sadly, Canada does not seem to do much better than the US in these cases, of which there are too many. A nice cash payout is good, but hardly compensation for a ruined life.
