Overview

Five friends walked into the nightclub. Only four came out. What should have been an ordinary night; music pounding, glasses clinking, laughter swallowed by neon and noise, ends in bloodshed. By morning, one friend is dead, and the others are bound together by a secret none of them are ready to face. Grief settles in quickly. Guilt follows close behind. As the shock fades, questions rise in its place. Who left first? Who was lying? Who knows more than they're saying? Once inseparable, the group begins to splinter under the weight of half-truths and unspoken resentments. Memories don't line up. Alibis shift. And silence becomes its own kind of confession. Detective Neverson is certain of one thing: someone in this shattered circle is hiding the truth. But every interview reveals a new contradiction, every motive feels dangerously plausible, and every version of the night ends just short of clarity. As tensions escalate and the past refuses to stay buried, Neverson races to unravel a carefully woven web of deceit, before fear turns fatal and the night claims another victim. The Singing Canaries is a chilling, atmospheric murder mystery where loyalty erodes, secrets fester, and the truth hides in plain sight. Dark, twist-laden, and emotionally sharp, this locked-room-style investigation explores how far people will go to protect themselves and what happens when the truth refuses to stay quiet. Because in this case, silence isn't safety. And the truth doesn't just hide. It sings.

Author Information

Makitia Thompson is a multi-genre storyteller whose work blends poetic intensity with the raw honesty of documentary-style fiction. Whether writing haunting character studies, time-bending novels, or intimate poetry collections, she gravitates toward the places where emotion fractures and truth demands to be seen. Her stories often unravel the quiet ache beneath survival, the complicated weight of memory, and the beauty that emerges from brokenness. As the founder of Minds In Design, Thompson explores the intersections of literature, visual art, and immersive world-building. Her oil and acrylic paintings mirror the emotional pulse of her books, creating a bridge between image and narrative that deepens the impact of her work. Originally from Halifax, Nova Scotia, she began writing at age eleven and has spent more than a decade shaping stories that challenge, unnerve, and invite readers to confront themselves with empathy. Across poetry and fiction, Thompson's work asks one enduring question: What does it mean to reclaim your voice after the world has tried to rewrite it?
