DEATH IN A FAMILY WAY, A Margaret Spencer Mystery, by Gwendolyn Southin, is the first in Gwen Southin's series of mystery novels set in the 1950s in Vancouver and other parts of British Columbia.
It stars Margaret Spencer, who at fifty years of age abandons home and hearth for a secretarial job in Nat Southby's detective agency. Before she's been on the job a week, she discovers a dead man and then acquires his cat, Emily. After that, there's no turning back, and as her boss takes on the case of a missing teenaged girl, Margaret herself falls into the clutches of a murderer and becomes involved in a wild boat chase on the high seas.
DID YOU KNOW? THE MARGARET SPENCER MYSTERY SERIES is about a plucky 1950s homemaker named Margaret Spencer, and she leaves boredom behind to create a new life as a private investigator. Over the course of six novels, Maggie becomes the self-sufficient woman most women of her generation could only dream of being. These cozy mysteries are set on the west coast and interior of BC Canada.
