Iona Whishaw is a Canadian author born in British Columbia. She grew up in the Kootenay region, and the landscape of that area figures heavily in her Lane Winslow mystery series. Before turning to crime fiction, she published a children’s book, Henry and the Cow Problem (1995), and worked in education.
The Lane Winslow series, which began with A Killer in King’s Cove in 2015, is set in the late 1940s and follows a young Englishwoman who served in British intelligence during the war. After settling in the fictional village of King’s Cove in the West Kootenay, Lane finds herself drawn into local crimes alongside Inspector Darling of the Nelson Police. The series has grown to fourteen books and was adapted into a television series for CBC. Whishaw’s writing draws on real history and her own family connections to the region, giving the books a strong sense of place.
