Book Description
Meet Bonnie Marsden, a forty-five-year-old mother of four who hires herself out as a housekeeper when she loses her job as a loans officer in a small Nova Scotia town. But Bonnie ends up doing much more than housework as mystery, mayhem and murder abound in her home town of Membertou County. Each week brings a startling new case that needs cleaning up: a child with Downs Syndrome is found frozen to death in the woods; Bonnie's son Robbie is accused of vandalism; and the local game warden is found dead in his own kitchen.
So sit back, pour yourself a cup of coffee and enjoy the best of radio drama with eerie disappearances, unusual deaths, gripping plots, spinetingling suspense, and, of course, the smart sleuthing of Bonnie Marsden. The series stars Deborah Allen as Bonnie and a host of other characters, including Richard Donat as Bonnie's husband, Big Ben; Michael Pellerin as RCMP Cpl. Kowalchuk; and George Jordan as local radio announcer Bob Smiley. Music for the series is composed by Scott Macmillan and Dave Maclsaac.

Tip of the Iceberg - Great Show,
By
This review is from: Clean Sweep (The Mystery Project) (Audio Cassette)
I am enjoying this radio series very much. I just wish that all of the Clean Sweep episodes were available. This set contains only the first 6 of 23 episodes. I contacted the publisher of this product to see if they had the other shows but they did not. If you have ever heard any of the CBC Mystery Project programs then you know that they are first class. I live in Alabama and to find the rest of the programs will be almost imposible but hey I will try.

Cozy Mystery, Nova Scotia Style,
By
This review is from: Clean Sweep (The Mystery Project) (Audio Cassette)
I enjoyed these half-hour cozy, folksy mysteries. The series of six fit in well with a commute to work and I found the stories entertaining. The amateur, independent, middle-aged Bonnie Marsden was an interesting and well-played protagonist. The series was part of the Canadian Broadcasting Company's Mystery Project. Listening to these tapes was time well spent.
