I love this series, written by my former Faculty of Education English professor Set in Upper Canada in the early 18th century, Don Gutteridge brings his characters and the time to life Great historical fiction I m happy to hear that the fourth book in the series,Dubious Allegiance, is scheduled to come out this summer.
good light entertainment
I like the fact that these books are set in Toronto Upper in the 1800 s, but found the ending a little disappointing It did not seem to fit the theme of the rest of the book.

Good book, especially for us Torontonians as it takes place in Upper Canada, Toronto, York back in the 1800s.
