"This is the same Susannah whom you met in Susannah of the Mounties. She's still a tomboy, and still a mischief. She rebels at school restrictions, at the Englishness of it all—in contrast to her own Canada; but she learns that fun can be created anywhere, and that discipline is not only a military necessity. A good picture of an English boarding school a generation ago, with enough of the desired boarding school peccadillos, but of basic human qualities as well."—from: Kirkus Reviews
Sir Oliver Mowat GCMG PC QC (1820-1903) was a Canadian lawyer, politician, and Ontario Liberal Party leader. He served for nearly 24 years as the third premier of Ontario. He was the eighth lieutenant governor of Ontario and one of the Fathers of Confederation. He is best known for defending successfully the constitutional rights of the provinces in the face of the centralizing tendency of the national government as represented by his longtime Conservative adversary, John A. Macdonald. This longevity and power was due to his manoeuvring to build a political base around Liberals, Catholics, trade unions, and anti-French-Canadian sentiment.—Wikipedia

As she leaves to go home, nothing is out of the ordinary. But Mary Hewitt doesn't reach home that night, and her corpse is found the next dayin a little wood just off the path she would normally take. A brutal murderer—soon called the Eastrepps Evil—is on the loose.—Goodreads.
