About the Book

After a six year absence, Ingrid Johanson, a kitchen designer from Toronto, comes home for her father's funeral to discover the more things change, the more they stay the same. She reconnects with The Viking Five, her tribe growing up. Haunted by questions regarding her brother's death years earlier, and by reminders of why she left so suddenly, Ingrid and her best friends Mariah and Jared try to sort out the past. When Tristan Everleigh, the spoiled rich kid who hung out with the group, dies in a fall off the old Trestle Bridge, Detective Deitrich discovers that more than one person in town may have wanted Tristan dead. No Straight Lines is a murder mystery set in 2025 in the fictional town of Kettlebank in northeastern Saskatchewan.

Was Tristan's death a suicide? An accident? Or murder? How did the secrets of the past catch up with him?

And why are Ingrid and Mariah prime suspects?
