Reviews

"The dialogue is sharp, the eye for detail is masterful, and the narrative pacing is just right. Plenty of suspicious-seeming characters raise the tension. Even if you're not yet a "Cozy" fan, you'll have a blast. All this and recipes, too." Phil Jason, Florida Weekly"This was an enjoyable story, well researched with great characters and a wonderful setting. I recommend it to cozy mystery lovers, especially those who enjoy family dynamics that add to the story." Carla Johnson-Hicks, Carla Loves to Read"This book had so much going on and I couldn't put it down until it was over. The murderer was definitely not who I had pegged for the crime." Paula Mitchell, Community Bookstop"The blend of mystery to family life is excellent, the pace is flawless, and the characters are appealing. The dialogue is spot on and the humor plays off the suspense at all the right times. This book was a fantastic read." Lori Caswell, Escape With Dollycas"This sweet cozy mystery has an interesting cast of characters along with plenty of suspects to thicken the plot." FS Brown, InD'Tale Magazine"I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a well-crafted cozy mystery. It is funny, has great characters and a good mystery to solve, so what is not to enjoy?" Jerjen, Open Book Society"One reason why Nancy J. Cohen is an award-winning cozy mystery author is that her stories are packed with personality, upbeat scenarios, and the solid pairing of a murder mystery with broader community entanglements... From fundraiser activity, culinary insights, and probes into Marla's logic to recipes and romance which pepper the story line and embellish its twists and turns, readers who want a cozy mystery filled with atmosphere, intrigue, and adventure should settle a chair by the fire for a good evening's read." Diane Donovan, Midwest Book Review"These are really good books with a protagonist I like a lot and, unlike some amateur sleuths, Marla Vail has a brain." Lelia Taylor, Buried Under Books
