Joanne Kilbourn Synopsis: Deadly Appearances by Gail Bowen is the first book in the Joanne Kilbourn mystery series. Andy Boychuk is a successful Saskatchewan politician – until one sweltering August afternoon when the party faithful gather at a picnic. All of the key people in Boychuk’s life, including family, friends, enemies, are present. Boychuk steps up to the podium to make a speech, takes a sip of water, and drops dead. Joanne Kilbourn, in her first job as Canada’s leading amateur sleuth, is soon on the case, looking into Boychuk’s past. What she finds are a Bible college that’s too good to be true, a woman with a horrifying and secret past, and a murderer who isn’t done yet.
