Another one is 'The Break' by Katherena Vermette. This novel combines elements of mystery with deep exploration of family and community in a Canadian context. The characters are complex and the mystery keeps you hooked from start to finish.

A third option could be 'Alias Grace' by Margaret Atwood. This novel delves into the historical context of 19th - century Canada and the story of a woman accused of murder, with a complex web of relationships that include elements of romance.

I'd also suggest 'The Girl in the Ice' by Robert Bryndza. It has a fast - paced mystery that grabs your attention from the start. The Canadian setting in some parts adds an interesting flavor. The author does a great job of leading the reader through the investigation step by step.

One such novel is 'The Inconvenient Indian' by Thomas King. It delves into the history of Native Americans and settlers in Canada in a thought - provoking way.

The 'Inspector Rebus' series by Ian Rankin, though he's Scottish, has a strong influence on Canadian mystery writing. However, a great Canadian one is 'The Handmaid's Tale' by Margaret Atwood. It can be seen as a mystery in the sense of uncovering the secrets of the dystopian society. It's a complex and thought - provoking work.
