Excerpts from reviews
The Affair at Lime Hill is a love story, family drama, and mystery. With a cast of well-drawn characters and a narrative that carries the reader ever forwards, it is insightful, entertaining, and well-conceived. This is also Akerman's love song to Cape Breton's beautiful Bras d'Or Lakes region, and I was enchanted. -- Robert Bockstael, author of Willow's Run
Amid the natural beauty and eccentric citizenry of an idyllic Cape Breton community, Jeremy Akerman has woven an absorbing tale of passion and mystery. A true page-turner, perfect for summer reading at the beach or while curled up by the fireplace on a snowy winter's night. -- Jim Prime, author of Beyond the Passage
Detective Roberta Gillis, a Cape Bretoner, has an intense homecoming of music, mystery, and mating. Enjoy descriptions of the Bras d'Or Lakes, hints of autumn, and local accents. The generosity of unique characters will warm your heart. - - Marie Mossman, author of A Rebel for her Time
