Murdoch author at Sleuth recalls 1936 Toronto heat wave

Maureen Jennings will visit the Sleuth of Baker Street book store Saturday from 3 to 5:30 p.m. to launch her newest novel, Heat Wave. Many know Jennings from her Victorian character William Murdoch (Murdoch Mysteries) but the new book features his son, Jack, a Toronto detective in 1936 and his friend, a PI named Charlotte Frayne. Inevitably the notorious North American heat wave of 1936 forms the background. Sleuth of Baker Street is at 907 Millwood Rd. at Sutherland.
