E101 - Amy Tector loved reading and writing since a child. She grew up in Quebec’s Eastern Townships. When her husband got a job being a NATO archivist, they lived the expat life for almost three years. In Belgium, Amy returned to her PhD and wrote 460 pages about the representation of disability in Canadian novels of the First World War. You may remember Amy from when we talked about her novel, The Honeybee Emeralds, E91.

Her debut novel, which was a 2008 finalist in the Crime Writer’s of Canada Unhanged Arthur Award, has grown and morphed into the book which is available now, and we talk about The Foulest Things today. It is Book 1 in her Dominion Archives Mystery.  In reference to Amy's novel, Louise Penny’s writes The Foulest Things, is, “A literary joy ride.”
