Publisher Description
Stinging deaths aren't uncommon in the summertime, but when Henry Wiest turns up stung to death at an Indian reservation, Detective Hazel Micallef senses not all is as it seems. And when it turns out the "bee" was a diabolical teenaged girl on a murder spree with a strange weapon, a dark and twisted crime begins to slowly emerge. The questions, contradictions, and bodies begin to mount, as two separate police forces struggle to work together to save the soul of Westmuir County

"Less Hester private life, more about the case. But I liked that. And I liked the focus on James too. Excellent like the first two. Superior writing, tremendously fascinating characters, and more so in this one than the other two, a very involving and affecting story. Can't wait for more Hester."
— L-J (4 out of 5 stars)
Quotes

A Door in the River Listener Reviews
-
" I loved the first half of this book, but I found the second half sickening in places and implausible in others. My least favourite of the three so far, but the characters are good and I look forward to the next one. "
— Pgchuis, 2/7/2014 -
" This is the third Hazel book and I understand there are to be 3 more. A different type of mystery than the Louise Penny books which also take place in Canada. As always I loved the interactions between Hazel and her almost 88 yr old mother who was once the mayor of their town. "
— Connie, 1/26/2014 -
" This book simply did not work for me. There are numerous reasons but to make it simple--the plot is just waaaaay over the top. I wish the author hadn't tried so hard. "
— Judy, 1/25/2014 -
" 3rd book with Hazel Micallef - a good mystery. "
— Sharon, 12/18/2013 -
" This was a fun read....just the right amount of surprising gruesomeness! It's the first one I've read by this author but it won't be the last. "
— Alison, 12/11/2013 -
" A harrowing look into organized, commercial sexual violence. The ending is implausible in the way the genre seems to demand. "
— Joe, 12/2/2013 -
" The third in the Hazel Micallef mystery series set in the prototypical small-town Ontario town of Port Dundas: a gritty, well-paced and impressively written thriller. "
— Caroline, 11/21/2013 -
" The first two novels in this series captivated me. This one, however, created a sense of restless boredom as I read about an unpleasant topic that has been the premise of numerous books. I will keep hopeful, and wait for the fourth book in the series. "
— VickiLee, 8/26/2013 -
" Love this series. I think this was the best of the three so far. "
— Laura, 8/5/2013 -
" A excellent book! Fast moving action, intense situations, and relatable characters. A great read, that I fully enjoyed. "
— Kim, 7/24/2013 -
" Loved the first half....the second skimmed a bit... "
— J, 6/16/2013 -
" I like the main character and her mum but the whole story doesn't hang together somehow. That said I did enjoy it, especially the final third. "
— Alsjem, 5/23/2013 -
" This is a good enough crime thriller, a nice pace and not too ridiculous. "
— Melinda, 4/3/2013 -
" This is a great series by a Canadian author. Each book is better than the last one. (This is the 3rd in the series). This is book has a great plot with lots of twists and turns to keep you guessing. A great read for people who enjoy suspense and mystery. Highly recommended. "
— Natalie, 1/24/2013 -
" Really good story, but disturbing to read. "
— Dorie, 11/7/2012 -
" I thought this was the best of the three (so far) 'Hazel Micallef' mysteries. At least the formatting of this library e-book was much better than the previous two that suffered from many missing paragraph breaks, etc. "
— David, 10/29/2012 -
" Great book, third in the series. Enjoyed them all. "
— Kevin, 10/29/2012 -
" I really enjoyed this. I wasn't entirely sold on the first book in the series, but book 3 was a solid procedural and Hazel is a great lead. "
— Tan, 10/11/2012
