Mystery author, people watcher, amateur sleuth...

Zee has many reasons for keeping tabs on the citizens of her hometown of Ashwood, Ontario—both as inspiration for her next book and as potential suspects in the various cases she stumbles into. She never leaves home without her precious Moleskine notebook.

No one knows about her mystery writing, of course. And Zee’s observations aren’t always flattering. Which is why the contents of her notebook have always been kept secret—until now.

Meet the quirky residents of Ashwood through Zee’s eyes, and learn some of their histories in this short bonus guide. This notebook can be read at any point in the Mackenzie Quinn Canadian cozy mystery series without the risk of spoilers.

Exclusively available direct from Jacquelyn’s store.

READ A SAMPLE

Mom (Suzette Quinn)

Background:

• Born Suzette Brightwell

• Never goes by Suzie, only tolerates ‘Suze’ from Dad

• Born and raised in the Eastern Townships of Québec

• Both parents killed in a car crash when she was seven, leaving her an orphan

• Taken in by her uncle and aunt, Stanley and Dianne Brightwell (her only living family)

• Raised by Stanley and Dianne as sister to their new son, Daniel, in Ontario

• Interned at Stanley’s financial advisor firm in Toronto until she was eighteen, when she married Dad (her childhood sweetheart from Québec)

• Had me (her only child) shortly after the wedding, settled in Ashwood, Ontario

• Worked around town as a bookkeeper, as well as at the local daycare

• Currently retired, but still does taxes for many of the locals

Personality/Quirks:

• Obsessed with red (to the point where she seems oblivious to the existence of any other colour choice)

• Proper and particular, never uses nicknames (sigh), doesn’t tolerate cursing in any language

• Strong personality, sharp, somehow seems to know everyone everywhere she goes

• Knows the financial situation of most of the population of Ashwood, thanks to all her bookkeeping days and ongoing tax accounting jobs (which might come in handy)

• Named me (her only child!) after her favourite childhood dog, but names her pets after beloved family members for some reason

• Fan of the Marie Clifford mystery novels

Dad (Gregory/Greg Quinn)

Background:

• Born and raised in the Eastern Townships of Québec, where he met Mom as a child and grew up with her until her parents died

• Moved to Toronto to find Mom when he grew up, got a job at the Brightwell financial firm to earn enough money to get married

• Not a big fan of the city, moved family to Ashwood after Mom got pregnant

• Worked around town as local handyman, still takes odd jobs even though he’s pretty much retired

Personality/Quirks:

• Obsessed with fixing up every house our family has lived in (Nothing left to fix? Must be time to move!)

• Fascinated by history and the past; mostly reads non-fiction but also the Marie Clifford mystery novels

• Friendly but quiet, has a death glare that can wither you from a mile away (Not that I would know or anything…)

Cousin Jess (Jessica/Jess Wilson)

Background:

• Born Jessica Quinn (daughter of Dad’s sister)

• Married to Curt Wilson (brother of Clive Wilson, who owns the local bar and diner Clive’s), mother of two young daughters, Zoe and Sasha

• She and Curt were Ashwood’s first interracial couple (which initially created some controversy), but they eventually managed to win everyone over (all the decent people, anyway)

• Parents and husband killed by a drunk driver, Jess was the only survivor, paralyzed from the waist down (Thankfully, her two girls were safe at home when the accident happened.)

• Runs Ashwood Real Estate, a business that has been in the family for years (on Jess’s mother’s side)

Personality/Quirks:

• Practical, helpful, independent

• Close to her husband’s family, especially since the accident
