Review: Confined Space by Deryn Collier
Ex–Canadian Forces commander Bern
Fortin has moved to a small town in British Columbia, to escape the memories of
Afghanistan and Rwanda. He hopes for little work as the coroner, so he can
recover from his troubles and grow his garden. When a man is found in a vat at
the local brewery everyone wants to call it an accident except for Bern and the
Brewery’s safety officer Evie Chapelle. Evie however is hampered by the Brewery
officials who want everything finished so they can continue making beer. Bern
is hampered by the senior coroner who wants to save his budget and prefers to
think its an accident covered by the workmen’s safety board. Soon Evie is
risking her life to find out what happened and Bern is risking his job to find
out the truth.
I loved the characters of Evie and
Bern and hope that the writer will decide to write another book with these
characters. Bern is thoughtful and caring but deeply troubled by his time in
the military. Evie is struggling with her relationships and her new position as
safety officer at the plant. A truly enjoyable mystery that keeps the reader enthralled
with the scenery, the characters and their lives and the story to find out what
happened to the victim and why? I love a good mystery and this one kept me
enthralled.
