After a career in libraries such as The Brewers’ Association of Canada, Statistics Canada, the Canada Institute for Scientific and Technical Information, and a wonderful ride as a co-owner of Prime Crime Mystery Bookstore, she has settled into a life of crime, surrounded by her two miniature dachshunds, the ghost of her beloved Corgoid Smudge, and her long-suffering husband.

She’s a frequent speaker on writing mysteries and on the importance of Canadian crime fiction. In real life, although she is a member of the Ladies’ Killing Circle, she has never killed anyone.
Genre: Mystery
1. Speak Ill of the Dead
Camilla runs a law office specializing in Justice for Victims of violent crimes. Her uneasy association with the world of crime takes a bizarre turn when a vicious fashion columnist is crucified in a downtown hotel room. Camilla’s best friend, Robin, was on her way to meet the victim and has become the main suspect. Camilla sets out to vindicate her friend, but the investigation turns dangerous, as she receives cryptic warnings while following a grisly killer’s trail marked by more murders.
2. The Icing on the Corpse
It’s now forty below in Canada’s capital. When a savage serial batterer goes on the rampage looking for revenge against his former girlfriend, the terrified woman turns to Camilla and Justice for Victims for help. But a sudden change of fortune causes her client to really feel the chill. Soon everyone connected with the case is either cooling their heels behind bars or trying to avoid cold storage in the morgue. Camilla’s really skating on thin ice looking for this killer.
3. Little Boy Blues
Jimmy, younger brother of Camilla’s annoying assistant Alvin, has vanished from the midst of a Canada Day crowd in Sydney, Nova Scotia. Is he dead? Sleuthing irritably about Sydney on Alvin’s behalf, Camilla makes the usual quota of people froth at the mouth, including Jimmy’s frantic family and forlorn friends. Before Camilla knows it, all roads lead back to Ottawa, where a killer waits to create havoc among the tents, guitar pickers and happy, swaying crowds.
4. The Devil’s in the Details
An old acquaintance, Laura, has had an accident. By the time Camilla unearths Laura’s connection to a violent revolutionary group active two decades earlier, she has had several blows to the head and learned that people she has been talking to are ending up dead.
5. The Dead Don’t Get Out Much
Camilla’s good friend, Mrs. Violet Parnell, one of five thousand Canadian women to go overseas during World War II, has vanished. With only a few letters and documents to guide her, Camilla follows her friend to Tuscany, chasing though historic towns, across high promontories and along steep mountain roads. Vanishing old partisans and Allied aircraft crash sites keep Camilla hopping as she tries to find Mrs. P. before someone with a deadly serious reason to keep the past hidden finds her first.
6. Law and Disorder
Victims’ advocate Camilla MacPhee is following the trial of Lloyd Brugel, a ruthless criminal kingpin charged with a fatal firebombing. Shes looking forward to seeing him convicted, but when his sleazy counsel is found dead, it conveniently delays the proceedings. The lawyer, no saint himself, was drowned and shot. In case that message was too subtle, an old joke featuring dead lawyers shows up. Camilla soon learns the victim was not the only member of the Ottawa legal profession whose death was heralded by a tasteless attempt at humour. Is Brugel reaching from behind the bars of the regional detention centre to manipulate his trial and to exact revenge? Camilla does her stubborn best to head off the killer, hampered by her annoying assistant, the police, her bossy sisters and the arrival of her possible stepdaughters-to-be for the Dragon Boat Races.
