What books (fiction/non fiction) have been written on life in Toronto?

Answer 1

There's a discussion of why Toronto doesn't have a distinctive fiction voice here:

But there are several mystery series set in Toronto; the first name is the author, the second is the character.
Tony Aspler--Ezra Brant: wine journalist in Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Rosemary Aubert--
Ellis Porter: former lawyer and judge convicted of a crime in Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Colin Bateman: Frank Corrigan: Northern Ireland transplant, now an inspector in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada

Jack Batten: Crang: lawyer and jazz buff in Toronto, Ontario, Canada
