November's rain in Toronto 1936 has turned into December's cold snap. Charlotte Frayne escapes being hit by a mud-splattered car racing round the corner at Queen and Spadina. The stranger who saves her turns out to be the man her boss, Mr. Gilmore, has helped to escape Germany and is now a refugee in need of shelter.


In a world still recovering from the War to End All Wars and the Spanish Influenza pandemic that killed fifty million people worldwide, and still in the throes of the Great Depression, Stephen Lucas is not just any refugee from the Nazi regime; he is in possession of information that could alter the course of history - but only if seen by persons in power and if acted upon. In a surprising twist of fate, Charlotte's estranged mother reappears, wanting assistance in locating the son she gave up at birth twenty years before. Despite her turbulent feelings about her mother, Charlotte agrees to investigate, having no idea that the two cases will connect in surprising ways.


Back at the Paradise Café, Christmas draws near and Charlotte's beau, Hilliard Taylor, and his partners are in disagreement about the holiday concert. With her beloved grandfather in the mix, there's no telling whether the show will end in good tidings or anarchy.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Maureen Jennings is not only just about the best crime novelist in Canada, she's among the best writers anywhere - a national and international treasure." - London Free Press


Praise for The Paradise Café Mysteries

"The plotting of this novel is seamless. There's only 240 pages but we solve not one but two mysteries and learn a great deal about the protagonist and the supporting characters in her life. Nothing is rushed or glossed over; the storyline climaxes in a short yet action-packed few pages, and our journey to that point wasn't totally unpredictable, but enjoyable nonetheless." - I've Read This


"In contemporary fiction, the millennial-aged single woman is often a character through whom we identify our own paucity and miscalculations: the lack of children, money, stability or foresight providing a plot in which to flail. What a relief it is then to spend time with a protagonist who isn't defined by the traditions she rejects - in the summer of 1936, no less." - Carly Lewis,  The Globe and Mail

5.0 out of 5 stars Toronto history comes alive in this fine novel.

I really enjoyed this one as a continuation of the last two in this series. The background of this particular historical time and the landmarks in Toronto were fascinating. The characters are interesting and their development kept me reading. The plot was useful as it carried the story along although the mystery was secondary.

I have enjoyed her previous books in this series but this was a dud. Repetitive and the Nazi angle was a tiresome theme
