And he puzzles over why his maternal grandmother has never liked him, why she says he's the son of a trickster, that he isn't human. But he struggles to keep everything afloat. Jared is only sixteen but feels like he is the one who must stabilize his family's life, even look out for his elderly neighbours. Eden Robinson, author of Son of a Trickster and a member of the Haisla Nation, is seen in this 2012 photo on the beach at the Octopus Beds, just south of Kitamaat Village, BC. ![]() He can't rely on his dad to pay the bills and support his new wife and step-daughter.

The setting is Paris but the main character has come from England. I love a mystery set in a different location. The socialite – The nice guy – The alcoholic – The girl on the verge – The concierge Jess may have come to Paris to escape her past, but it’s starting to look like it’s Ben’s future that’s in question. Ben’s neighbors are an eclectic bunch, and not particularly friendly. The longer Ben stays missing, the more Jess starts to dig into her brother’s situation, and the more questions she has. Only when she shows up – to find a very nice apartment, could Ben really have afforded this? – he’s not there. Her half-brother Ben didn’t sound thrilled when she asked if she could crash with him for a bit, but he didn’t say no, and surely everything will look better from Paris. She’s broke and alone, and she’s just left her job under less than ideal circumstances.
