Dig Into the Richly Suspenseful Storytelling of What We Buried

Part historical fiction, part mystery, part police procedural, this upcoming book can be read as a standalone or as the newest installment of Toronto-based author Robert Rotenberg’s Detective Greene series. What We Buried is a fast-paced, short chaptered and unputdownable book that has multiple timelines and a few settings, including a small-town in Italy and Toronto neighbourhoods and beautiful Ontario cottage country.

This is a fantastic combination of well-researched history and suspense that benefits from an interesting and diverse cast of characters. Told using multiple POVs, a sinister plot unfolds as Toronto police detectives unearth how events that happened decades before in a small Italian town impact what was initially thought to be a simple yet tragic current-day vehicular accident.

Layered and complex without being fussy or hard to follow, What We Buried is strong in its characterizations, intriguing plot and suspenseful storytelling, giving readers an amazing ride that will have them reading ‘just a couple more chapters.’

We are so excited to welcome Robert Rotenberg to WPL in March – join us for a discussion about the book and his illustrious career as a fiction writer, criminal lawyer, television screenwriter and teacher.
