REGINA GETS HER FEET WET, by Dean Forêt, is a wonderfully deceptive detective murder mystery, with a hefty side of Canadian social and political intrigue. 

Lefty legislator Regina Colwell MLA is summoned to a shabby hotel where a young man has drowned in a bathtub. She says she does not know the boy — so why is her name and phone number inked on his hand, the police ask? Wanting answers, Regina checks into the hotel where young Norman Water died, but encounters resistance at every turn from the hotel staff, including Digger Greenwood, the manager, a myopic accountant; and Queenie, his assistant, who warns Regina away with thinly veiled threats of violence. The hotel is a small world and the grievances are petty but the teenager’s death was no accident. Eventually, Regina uncovers the real crime behind all the pettiness — a giant political scandal.

His novels include Fluff Miner and four mysteries starring Regina Colwell, an activist millennial who doesn't maintain the status quo but fights to change it, case after case after case.
