The Charlie and Simm Mystery series follows two investigators whose cases pull them into situations involving family betrayals, hidden identities, and dangerous secrets. The series began in 2017 with Sins of the Fathers and has continued through six books.
Each novel presents a new case with its own mystery, but the personal lives and partnership of the two lead characters provide a throughline. The Canadian settings and psychological tension are consistent features of the series.
