Riley Logan is looking for peace and quiet when she and her best friend Marie travel to beautiful Galiano Island, B.C. Instead, they find an environmental clash, a decades-old mystery, and the murder of a well-loved islander. At the Cliffhouse, a funky waterfront cottage Riley inherited from her aunt, they discover 60-year-old letters holding important clues. Will the letters help solve the murder? What did someone hide on nearby Wallace Island that could break the case open? And why has Riley's new love interest gone missing? The answers to those questions, along with romance, adventure, and a dash of humor, can be found in Linda M. Vogt's debut novel No Thru Road.

Linda Vogt’s debut novel, No Thru Road, immerses readers into the quirky world of Galiano Island, BC, where every villager becomes suspect. Vogt’s dynamic duo, Riley Logan and Marie Wells, are intrepid and endearing, and with Riley’s trusty dog, Duffy, they stumble into the intrigue of a Patagonia-wearing heroine, Kit, involved in a smoldering environmental vs. commercial clash threatening the island. Solving the murder of a well-connected and beloved villager uncovers personal history for Riley and a strength she didn’t know she had. Readers will delight in this charming and layered tale.

A friend gave me this book to read. I really enjoyed it! Love the witty banter between Riley and Marie. I appreciated their long-time friendship and kindness toward each other. The plot kept my interest, and I was surprised in the end. The island, scenery, and islanders were perfectly described, and I could easily picture everything. Kudos for a lovely beach read. Perfect road trip book!
