Canadian suspense with a deadly twist!


"One doesn't simply read a Tardif story, one experiences it!"


--Betty Dravis, author and Amazon Top 1000 Reviewer

Welcome to my website. You will find that my novels are uniquely different from one another and range from 1009238-1194566-thumbnail.jpgsoft family drama with a hint of mystery (WHALE SONG) to paranormal crime thriller (DIVINE INTERVENTION) to action-packed suspense thriller (THE RIVER), but they all have common threads of mystery, crime and suspense.

I hope you'll stay a while, explore my truly Canadian suspense novels, read the generous book reviews, check out my chilling short stories, read some exciting novel excerpts...and maybe get a shiver or two. ~CKT
