Old City Hall by Robert Rotenberg ✔✔✔

I purchased this book in New Liskeard. I had already read about the author, who was the founder of a magazine about Toronto, T.O.,The Magazine of Toronto. It was first published in 2009.

It's a detective story involving a popular radio talk-show host whose wife is found murdered in the bathtub in their condo on Front Street. There are lots of characters - Mr. Singh, former chief engineer of Indian Railways, who now delivers newspapers in Toronto, Rasheed, the security guard, the two detectives who investigate the case, the Crown attorney and the defense attorneys, the judge - they're all here.

The fact that it's set in Toronto, with lots of descriptions of the Market area, Front Street, Old City Hall, etc were also very interesting.

I read this in several days - very entertaining and well-written.
