Criminal Minds Goes Canadian
One of my favourite television stations is the ever-engaging A&E. With their mix of reality shows (The First 48, Storage Wars, and can we forget Dog the Bounty Hunter?) and original drama programming, it’s one of my “go-to” channels when I’m cruising the boob-tube.
But one of the things I really love about A&E is their [...]

The Death Ship: Tom Henighan Plays Detective
Tom Henighan has published many titles for Dundurn, but his first foray into the adult mystery genre, Nightshade, has just hit the shelves. Tom has certainly drawn on his personal insights to create many of his characters and develop his stories… and well, the fact that he helped investigate a real murder would be great [...]
