Just when Vancouver commercial photographer Tom McCall thought he?d got his life back on track, a complete stranger shows up dead on the roof deck of his floating home. No one seems to know who he is, he has no ID, and there?s not a mark on him. If that isn?t bad enough, a prospective new client seems to have had one Botox injection too many, his ex-wife wants to take his daughter off to Australia for a year; and someone?s leaving mutilated dolls on his front step.
And, of course, he?s in lust again.
No wonder he?s feeling a little overexposed.
Michael Blair is a freelance technical writer/editor living in Montreal. Overexposed is his third mystery, a sequel to If Looks Could Kill, a finalist for the 1999 Chapters/Robertson Davies Prize and shortlisted for the 2001 Quebec Writers Federation First Book Prize. His second mystery, A Hard Winter Rain, was published by Dundurn in 2004.
Blair keeps all the threads neatly untangled until the dnouement, which is satisfying - and very Canadian. His workmanlike prose never gets in the way of the story, and he has a deft way with dialogue. One can only hope that there are more Tom McCall stories in the works.
This sequel to if Looks Could Kill is even better; funny, fast and smart.
