- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Well, I sure wish I hadn't waited so long to start this series! It's not my usual "serial killer thriller" mystery and I thought it might be lame because of the politics theme but this Canadian author is up to book 15 in this series so I had to see what was up. Deadly Appearances is at heart a political mystery with the book starting off with the murder of the prime candidate for Premier of Saskatchewan. The main characters then are all those surrounding his political campaign, spouses, and friends. I found this an engrossing quick read but not because of the actual mystery. What impressed me the most was character development and the focus on the amateur sleuth's family and its dynamics. Mysteries often forgo characters for action. The mystery wasn't very hard to figure out but the nuances of the motive and secrets that were revealed dealt with real issues. The story was authentic, as were the characters and I found the main characters fully developed. I most certainly would continue on with the series

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Wow! What a great story, I love Jill’s character, her smarts, her down to earthness, friends and teenage kids and her city— such a terrific sense of place! I’m eager to audio read her other books ( fabulous narrators). And am so happy to realize most are available.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/53.5*
Well done but because it is set in the world of politics, of which I have enough in real life at the moment, I only gave it 3.5*... - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5#1 in Joanne Kilbourne series, set in Saskatchewan. Her boss, Andy Boychuk, leader of the provincial “Official Opposition” is poisoned at a picnic rally. Mysteries and More from Saskatchewan says re: 17th book in the series: “a truly gifted writer”This is certainly a series I will continue.
