Bidulka’s final “Russell Quant Mystery.” Quant is at his parents’ farmhouse in Howell, Saskatchewan. Hardy, Ukrainian mom Kay’s memory is failing; resistant, she must soon have safer lodgings. A call from Kay’s recently widowed friend CeeCee pulls Quant into the cloud surrounding Clem’s death. Did he commit a crime, then suicide? Foul play? The town is torn. Quant takes the case, and folks from the previous “Quant” stories (plus other Bidulkas) make cameo appearances: Father Len, Merrie Bell, Adam Saint, Baj, Sister Genowere, Ethan Ash, the town of Beautiful. Don’t recognize them? Try “Amuse Bouche,” read all nine. Quant, a decade married to JP Taine, mourns turning 55, that Kay’s called him “Thomas,” his father’s name, yet Quant solves the mystery. Kay recognizes her “sonsyou.” A fine farewell — or introduction.
