Critic reviews

"A cozy debut that hits all the sweet spots: small town, family ties, and a crew of intriguing personalities." ( Library Journal)

Nice flowing

Liked it but from early on I knew who killed the mom and kinda thought the other man who owned the cookie shop was a pervert or worse

Nice Cozy Mystery

This is a well written and complex cozy mystery with engaging characters. The story flows at a nice pace and includes several twists and turns. I look forward to reading the next story.

Loved it.

I really loved everything about Twisted Threads. The story grabbed my interest from the first chapter and held it until the very end. The narration was excellent and I look forward to getting the next book in the series.

Pretty good

About halfway through I just started thinking “get to the point”. Lots of reminiscences that just go on and on. I do really like the story but just wish some of the extra fluff was cut out. Also, as a native Mainer, it’s disappointing to hear the town names pronounced incorrectly (Bowdoin, Machias) by a character that is supposed to be from here.

Very good but disliked The Ouija board

I really like the story and the performance but I was disappointed with the Ouija board part. I almost stopped reading it. I’m hoping there is no occult in the other books.
