In The Sugar Loaf Mysteries, Thomas Rice delivers in six finely crafted tales that are at all times entertaining, with new characters and plot twists that will linger well beyond the closing lines. First, in the title story, we meet a local heroine whose reputation as a freedom fighter and defender of the downtrodden is bent to a craven purpose, exposing the darker side of human nature. In a lighter vein, but with human resilience still on full display, we meet a school dropout with heroic aspirations who is deep-ended into the gritty realities of farming. We get invited to a "rambling house" party where we learn that history dies hard-if at all-as we witness a hilariously botched attempt at keeping a secret in a community that knows no such thing. We are privy to a poignant exchange between a proud itinerant mother and her hungry children as she begs for food from a farmer, resulting in a shocking revelation . Father-son relations get a complex airing when we encounter a gifted young academic who panics at the news that his wife is pregnant, and flees to Dublin to find his famous, long-lost father. The final entry takes us on a journey to the Canadian Northwest where an oil rig explosion has claimed 11 lives and an energetic young journalist suspects foul play. His artful baiting of the suspect is as satisfying a pursuit of justice as they come.
