A motorbike-riding business writer is asked to investigate the death of a tycoon in the first of a new mystery series featuring the irreverent Jane Yeats. Meet Jane Yeats. She's a still-grieving widow who smokes and sometimes drinks too much. Jane is also an acclaimed business writer who supports herself exposing corruption among the business elite. In this first mystery Jane is asked to investigate the murder of a highly unpopular developer. The prime suspect is his estranged gay son. The murderer could also be someone involved in organized crime. Clever, fast-paced, irreverent and brimming with insider tidbits about big business, Sudden Blow introduces an appealing new heroine, full of contradictions.

Sudden Blow - A Canadian with Attitude!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Here's a new Canadian author to watch for! Jane Yeats, a Toronto journalist with an attitude, a dog, and a Harley, is one of the neatest characters I've read about in a while! Sure, she has addictions and uses colorful language, but she has a most eclectic entourage of friends, wit, and a tenacity and frankness not often encountered in literature! Told in the first person, we get a great view of the world of modern Toronto and surrounds, with it's upper and lower crusts, characters just like us, and the brutal murder (of a deserving victim!) to unravel before the wrong person gets convicted, or Jane gets killed! I laughed and shuddered while devouring this first novel, and I'm glad to hear that there's another Jane Yeats novel in the works!
