What is Children in the Morning: A Mystery (A Collins-Burke Mystery, 5) about?
Winner of the Dartmouth Book Award for Fiction. “Emery’s first novel won the Arthur Ellis Award for Best First Novel in 2007 and it is clear why. Her writing is fast-paced and exciting, and the book is difficult to put down.” ― Scene Magazine Hotshot lawyer Beau Delaney is charged with the murder of his wife Peggy. The Delaney family dynamics and the appearance of a mysterious child complicate Monty Collins’s defence of Delaney, and convince him that his client is harbouring secrets. Beau Delaney is a bit of a showboat, a prominent lawyer whose exploits have become the subject of a Hollywood film. He’s also the father of ten children (many adopted). Now he’s charged with the murder of his wife, Peggy. It’s another hard case for lawyer and bluesman Monty Collins. His client is keeping secrets; a mysterious eleventh child turns up and demands to take part in the trial; and the last words anyone heard from Peggy were “the Hells Angels!” Monty isn’t alone in trying to save Delaney from life in prison and save his sprawling family from breaking up. Monty’s pal, Father Brennan Burke, has a hand in the investigation, too. But Burke is also lending a hand to Monty’s estranged wife, Maura.
