Book synopsis

Lilly Mcnabb--A Young Woman in her late teens--is a rebel in rebellious times. Colonial society in Upper Canada in 1835 is socially rigid, but radical political change is brewing. Lilly, strong-minded and strong-willed, is chafing against the strictures confining her. She lives in Maitland, a small village in the Upper St.Lawrence area. A milliner by trade, Lilly has a nose for trouble that draws her irresistibly toward her other calling: that of amateur detective. When Lilly stumbles across the battered corpse of John Reed, the missing clerk from a local shipping company, she is determined to find the killer. Both Stephen, the young man who is courting her, and Lilly's father do their best to discourage her, but Lilly persists in her investigation and is drawn closer and closer to danger. "Thread of Deceit is a page-turning thriller, blending a wealth of historical detail with a suspenseful, enthralling mystery. Susan Cliffe's instincts for storytelling are backed by a profound knowledge of the fascinating, pivotal time and place she uncovers.
