Review of Down Came the Rain

Down Came the Rain

Mounties targeted in Manitoba mystery
An Interlake maniac is targeting Mounties on lonely frozen mud-, windrow- and-ice-encrusted roads as the sandbaggers race against the river backing up over the banks — what a conundrum for Sgt. Roxanne Calloway, who thought rural Manitoba was far more peaceful than evil Winnipeg.
Seems pretty much everyone is a suspect, and everyone has secrets, and every member of the RCMP is an imminent victim in a supposedly idyllic area where the entrenched locals warily watch every step that the interlopers from the city take.
Published in April, Down Came the Rain (Signature Editions, 256 pages, $18) is the third short but terrific murder mystery from Winnipeg author Raye Anderson, who transforms a thinly disguised Gimli into Canada’s murder capital.
