大偵探福爾摩斯#67 巧克力殺人事件: :
作者: 厲河 | 繪者: 陳秉坤
福爾摩斯與華生在私人會所彩虹俱樂部中，目擊一位名叫貝斯特的客人中毒昏迷。差不多同一時間，貝斯特的妻兒亦在家中遇害。經調查後，福爾摩斯得悉貝斯特一家三口中毒，是跟吃過一盒巧克力試製品有關。但離奇的是，那盒巧克力本來是寄給俱樂部另一位常客威廉爵士的！難道有人企圖毒殺爵士，卻誤中副車，令獲得轉贈的貝斯特一家無辜受累？可是，爵士身家清白，也沒有仇人，為何有人要殺他？
福爾摩斯抽絲剝繭，在一張巧克力廠的信紙中找到犯罪的痕跡，又從貝斯特夫婦看過話劇《女明星謀殺案》這一事實中發現驚人線索，一舉逼近那個冷血無情的兇手！
看全新改編偵探故事，訓練科學邏輯思維！

Entertaining, imformative, important and compassionate
Format: Hardcover
I bought this book thinking (1), it'll be easy to consume, (2) I'll learn something about Canadian culture, (3) it'll at some point shed a light on the environmental harms that oil drilling causes, and (4) there'll be a redeeming ending. I was right about (2) and (3). Easy to consume? Not as easy as I thought and whether or not the ending is redeeming, the author Beaton leaves to the reader to determine. It is autobiographical based on the author's experiences, and she does go on after her experiences to become a renowned author/cartoonist. However, one questions whether these experiences, that were part of her path to get there, justify the means, and there is no overarching message that wraps everything up neatly "in a bow".
This book was even more important that I anticipated it to be and while it does speak to certain aspects of Canadian culture (mostly regional), the lessons can be applied beyond that context. My favorite aspects of the book were that it addressed difficult topics with humanity and compassion and even though this topics are intellectually and emotionally difficult, the medium is easier to consumer than perhaps other mediums. Highly recommend.

Compelling - Beautifully done
Format: Kindle
I was surprised how much I enjoyed reading this. Ms Beaton has done an amazing job of storytelling.
So thankful for the recommendation from John Warner - The “BibliOracle” of the Chicago Tribune.
Several male members of my family worked in the Tar Sands projects over the last 30 years - mostly on Oil Exploration and the crew management side. But rumors about the rough environment were confirmed in this book. Reading this explains why one important family marriage failed from the “Wild West” behavior that took place there.
As Ms Beaton acknowledged, this work provided important income for those who worked the Tar Sands projects. My family included.
But the harm to the First Nations People and the environment are just terribly, horribly sad.

A human story of how our society operates
Format: Kindle
There's a lot of terms you could use to describe the themes in this book. Capitalism, patriarchy, settler-colonialism, climate change but the book doesn't need to throw these terms around. It just shows them through the eyes of a person who experienced them. There's also a feeling of "there but by the grace of god go I" having been tempted by the possibility of oil work myself during the Great Recession. The story of how our drive for oil eats at our humanity is vital and helps show the cost of how we've structured our society at a personal level. At times funny, heartwarming, and tragic, a fantastically written and drawn work that I have to highly recommend!
