The unpretentious atmosphere of Blue Heron Books with its comfy chairs, wood shelving and creaky floors lends itself to a long slow, browsing session, but under that sleepy atmosphere vibrates a strong pulse. The store has a quaint, old-fashioned look with an up tempo vibe, because there is always something happening. The store is a hub for the community and a bastion of calm chaos where everyone is welcome, even the local dogs that drop by with their owners for a treat from the tin kept under the front counter.

His novel Forty Words for Sorrow, won the British Crime Writers’ Macallan Silver Dagger. A Delicate Storm, was the winner of the Arthur Ellis Award for Best Novel and Blackfly Season, was one of Margaret Cannon’s Best Mysteries of the 2010 Year.
