Here is the series description from the author's website:
This compelling series is
set in the wilds of West Quebec, where trees out number people a million to one
and lakes a thousand to one. Meg Harris fled the big city and a failed marriage
to heal her bruised soul on the idyllic shores of Echo Lake, where her
struggles to establish a new life are helped by her new friends in the Migiskin
Reserve. But as the seasons change, her sought after peace is interrupted by
injustice and murder. Unable to ignore it, she invariably becomes enmeshed in a
quagmire of murderous intrigue and is racing to find the real killer before
it’s too late.
And here is Harlick's description of Meg:
When Meg isn’t
roaming through the surrounding forests or paddling her wooden canoe over the
black waters of Echo Lake, she can be found in the sprawling verandah of her
century-old cottage. She sits in her great-aunt’s bentwood rocker, placed to
capture a clear view of the lake, the distant tree-covered hills and the lake’s
pine-fringed island known as Whisper Island. Here she finds the peace she so
desperately sought, that is, until the gods conspire to shatter it.
The fifth and latest book in the series is A Green Place for Dying (M):
“Meg Harris
returns to Three Deer Point after her trip to the Arctic only to discover that
the daughter of a friend has been missing from the Migiskan Reserve for over
two months. Treating her as a runaway, the police refuse to do little more than
a nominal search and continue to stall even when the girl's friend turns up
murdered.
As the mother
struggles with her daughter's disappearance, Meg vows to do what she can to
find her and in the process discovers that she isn't the only native woman who
has gone missing. Fearing the worst Meg delves ever deeper and uncovers an
underside of life she would rather not know existed. When the search takes an
unexpected turn, Meg is forced to finally face her own demons and admit to the
guilt she's been hiding since a teenager.” - publisher
