A bush pilot. A dead developer. A town full of motives. Elle Reid knows every shoreline, every shoal, and every secret Echo Lake has to offer. She's been flying charters for Wild Blue Air — her father's company — for five years, keeping the business alive with a sixty-year-old De Havilland Beaver named Auntie Bee and a rescued Red Heeler who treats every flight like a scheduled nap. When Barry Barton books a flight to his new cottage on Poison Point, Elle gets a close look at the man who's become the most hated person in Blind Cove. He's cleared protected forest. He's stiffed contractors. He's blocked views, ignored setback requirements, and treated the locals like obstacles in a luxury real estate brochure. By the end of the weekend, he's dead — poisoned by water hemlock, one of the deadliest plants in North America, growing wild along the very shoreline he tried to tame. The OPP has theories. The town has opinions. And everyone — from the elderly gardener whose sunset view he stole, to the contractor he refused to pay, to the young wife who barely spoke — has a reason they wanted him gone. But when Elle starts asking questions from the air and on the ground, she finds more than a murder investigation. Her father died on this lake five years ago in what was ruled an accident. The deeper Elle digs into Barton's death, the more she suspects the two cases are connected — and that someone in Blind Cove has been keeping a very long, very dangerous secret. Poison Point launches the Wild Blue Air Mysteries, a semi-cozy series set in the rugged heart of Northern Ontario. For fans of bush planes, strong-willed heroines, and mysteries where the setting is as vivid as the characters.
