A dark and suspenseful noir thriller, set in the Yukon. As winter closes in and the roads snow over in Dawson City, Yukon, newly arrived journalist Jo Silver investigates the dubious suicide of a local politician and quickly discovers that not everything in the sleepy tourist town is what it seems. Before long, law enforcement begins treating the death as a possible murder and Jo is the prime suspect. Strange Things Done is a top-notch thriller - a tense and stylish crime novel that explores the double themes of trust and betrayal.
"A remote Canadian community hunkering down for a grim, lonely winter is the perfect setting for this atmospheric crime novel."
Library Journal
"Elle Wild's Strange Things Done is a boisterous tale of small town eccentrics, dark secrets, and strange things done in the bush, all delivered in crisp, expert prose. Wild's suspenseful tale of murder and mayhem in the Yukon delivers on its promise of noir thrills and chills."
Gail Anderson-Dargatz, author of The Cure for Death by Lightning and A Recipe for Bees
"The title is perfect, the characters fully developed, the plot well-paced and gripping, but this is above all a novel about setting... This is the Dawson City of relentless gamblers, heavy drinkers, tattooed bar girls, ruthless miners, and people who've reached the end of the road and find there is nowhere left to go. The perfect setting for a novel about conflicted people and dark ambition."
Vicki Delany, author of the Constable Molly Smith series
