Praise for Sunny Side Up, Book 1 in the Lake Erie Mysteries:
“Nancy Drew please meet Janet Evanovich. That is the mysterious and hilarious adventure you will discover between the pages of this feel good caper. Francie and June are the two main characters with whom I think most females can relate. It’s a feel good book with just enough laughs. The ending was a shocker. I didn’t see the twist coming but totally loved the plot. I suggest you grab a bottle of wine, slip off the shoes, forget about cooking, and enjoy the adventure. Cheers!”
“The mystery sneaks up on the reader amidst beautifully written descriptions of the locale and the relationships. There are many twists and turns as the story unfolds that keep the plot moving. The best part, however, is the characters – they are well-developed and unique, but not too perfect, very human. The descriptions of the lake town are inviting and relaxing. This is not a story to rush through, but one to savor and enjoy.”
“This is a fun cozy with amateur sleuths who reminded me of Lucy and Ethel. I laughed out loud at some of their antics- especially those involving the inflatable rafts! The setting is beautifully described- I felt as though I was on vacation right along with Francie and June.”
“I did enjoy this book immensely. Loved loved LOVED the June character. Reminded me of a young (very young) me. The setting was to die for! (Pun intended). Just when you have relaxed and are floating along with the bucolic atmosphere – BAM. Well written. The end had me scratching my head … why didn’t I think of that? It was actually staring me in the face for a while and the writing was artful enough that I never even saw it!”
