Description
Behind the scenes, nothing is what it seems.
Gord Stewart, 40 years old, single, moved back into his suburban childhood home to care for his widowed father. But his father no longer needs care and Gord is stuck in limbo. He’s been working in the movie business as a location scout for years, and when there isn’t much filming, as a private eye for a security company run by ex-cops, OBC. When a fellow crew member asks him to find her missing uncle, Gord reluctantly takes the job. The police say the uncle walked into some dense woods in Northern Ontario and shot himself, but the man’s wife thinks he’s still alive.
With the help of his movie business and OBC connections, Gord finds a little evidence that the uncle may be alive. Now Gord has two problems: what to do when he finds a man who doesn’t want to be found, and admitting that he’s getting invested in this job. For the first time in his life, Gord Stewart is going to have to leave the sidelines and get into the game. Even if it might get him killed.

John McFetridge’s new mystery #EveryCityIsEveryOtherCity proves one thing very clearly - every city IS every other city. The title stems from lead character Gordon Stewart’s main occupation, location scout for motion pictures. From his home in Toronto, where he takes care of his sick father, Stewart searches out the perfect city to be transformed into wherever the script calls for. This makes him ideal for his auxiliary career- private investigator, predominantly small time. When a coworker asks him to help her aunt by getting to the root of her uncle’s suspicious disappearance, Stewart hesitantly agrees. What insures is a little more than he bargained for as it starts to become apparent that the missing uncle may not have shot himself deep in the Northern Canadian woods, but wandered off to Western Canada to live a life of anonymity. Once it becomes clear that there’s more hear than meets the eye we discover that whether you’re hunting film locations or the people that inhabit them, there’s a lot of truth in the old saying : no matter where you go you’ve never left.

McFetridge really can write. I was drawn into this book immediately, and the combination of private eye and movie location scout was interesting.
I really couldn't put this down... kept reading eagerly to find out what was going to happen both with the case and the hero's private life.
