Anne Emery is the author of the Collins-Burke Mystery Series. She lives in Halifax, NS.
“Emery paints a poignant portrait of a girl burdened by information
she was never supposed to have, and of a tormented man who, at the
most critical juncture, realizes that mounting a proper defence
requires fumbling around in some very dark corners.” — Quill &
Quire
“The words flow seamlessly from [Emery] and you are instantly in
the damp streets of Halifax … [Children in the Morning is] a
delight, as we are guided through the wonderfully rich culture and
lifestyle of Nova Scotia, and then evolves into a masterfully
captained ship of a mystery.” — The Hurley Edition
“This sixth Monty Collins book by Halifax lawyer Emery is the best
of the series. It has a solid plot, good characters and a very
strange child who has visions.” — Globe and Mail
“By having Normie tell the story, Arthur Ellis Award-winning Emery
allows readers to walk beside the girl as she deals with her second
sight, the abuse of other children, and the anguish she feels when
the peace of her home life is threatened. Not since Robert K.
Tannenbaum’s Lucy Karp, a young woman who talks with saints, have
we seen a more poignant rendering of a female child with unusual
powers.” — Library Journal
“Emery’s first novel won the Arthur Ellis Award for Best First
Novel in 2007 and it is clear why. Her writing is fast-paced and
exciting, and the book is difficult to put down.” — Scene Magazine
