What Readers Say

Real reviews from readers who couldn’t put these books down.

This novel calls out to be made into a movie or TV miniseries. It is set in the present and near future in a wide variety of exotic locations. The cast of characters includes detectives from Canada trying to solve a murder of a prominent climate researcher (with a secret life), and diplomats from small pacific island countries developing a plan to save their countries and the earth from the negative effects of global warming. International politics present different challenges.

Would make a great movie.
The plot to cool the planet" begins with the murder of a prominent environmental scientist. The victim had been a vocal advocate for world leaders to take immediate action to address the effects of climate change. While her controversial ideas had sparked debate worldwide, the usual lack of consensus on the immediacy of the crisis had stymied any action. With the RCMP's investigation of the murder as a subplot, the novel explores an intricate plan to save the planet.

Not your typical murder mystery
If you have any interest in climate politics, Sam Bleicher’s novel "The Plot to Cool the Planet" is the book for you. It has EVERYTHING. Bleicher skillfully weaves a murder mystery thriller replete with a quirky pair of detectives on the hunt for the killer of a glamorous climate-Cassandra, a steamy romance between the heroic protagonists—even a diabolical Putin gets into the action—all the while slyly slipping in a wealth of authoritative information.
John V. Wylie, MD
Entertaining, informateive, and uplifting
