Reserved For Murder: Book 2 of The Ottawa Detective Series Kindle Edition

Everyone has a secret.

And some people will go to any length to keep theirs.

When the body of a teenage boy is found hanging from a homemade noose, deep in the woods outside of a First Nations reserve, it casts a dark shadow over the community during their annual harvest powwow. For the Ottawa Detectives, the evidence doesn’t add up. The deeper they delve into their investigation, the more questions they uncover.

Was Jonny Two Bears’ death merely another tragedy in a string of teen suicides? And why does the reserve’s Chief seem more interested in meeting with the media than mourning with the community?

The detectives are determined to find the answers before another child dies, and they're willing to use every resource they have available. Unfortunately, the mastermind always seems to be one step ahead, and all they can do is try to follow the tracks.

There’s something evil in the woods.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Fine Addition That I Enjoyed to a Good Series and I Recommend it But Read in Order
Reviewed in Canada on March 6, 2020

I usually take breaks from my Arthur Ellis entries reading project to read the latest releases by favourite authors and this is book 2 in this series. As I said in my review of the first book in the series I was bit doubtful that Mr Hopkins could improve on it very much and while I don’t think this one is any better it sure is at least as good. Same great cast of competent, honest and likeable police officers and superiors investigating a somewhat different kind of a plot that has a quite in depth study of some very current social problems expertly woven in while managing not to get too preachy. Constable Grant wasn’t quite the wonderkind that he was in book 1 but just as effective and thus much more believable and his mother in her brief appearance is really something! Again great descriptions of the settings, coffee, weather, coffee, food, coffee and Native Customs and did I mention the coffee? How in heck does Detective Penner do it? Most people drinking that much coffee would need a Pit Stop about every 15 minutes! Anyway Penner is a great character, good detective, great sympathetic people person, perhaps a bit naive about some things like moose dinners but she sure is a good sport. I really liked that the First Nations involved were the Algonquin Nation because there are very few novels involving Algonquin people and customs. A couple of small points that are really just pet peeves of mine are that I usually don’t have a lot of liking for stories where all the perps get killed off without being brought to justice or walk away even if the ending isn’t really clear whether or not they were a perp. Another thing I, personally, don’t like is the current very common misuse of words not just in literature but also in mainstream newspapers. In this book the word “bring” occurs many times when, in my opinion, the word “take” should have been used and would even have made for easier and smoother reading. Here is one of many examples “If it’s really bad, they get in touch with the city police and bring them there.” “Take” would be more accurate and read better than “bring” I know this is controversial and I don’t deduct stars for it but it still bugs me. Anyway a fine read and I’m looking forward to book 3.

The first parts of the story describe a "Utopian" relationship with the Reserve and the police. Having been raised and having worked in Northern Ontario, I have seen the harsh and discriminatory practices towards the Aboriginal People and how much they have and continue to suffer. The book is well written and the end was a surprise which is on par to the first book. This author writes very well and I plan to continue reading the series. Great read!
