About this ebook

"I've always been a fan of the traditional cozy murder mystery such as
Agatha Christie wrote, or Dorothy L. Sayers, or Margery Allingham--the
sort of story portrayed on A & E or PBS Mystery Theatre. So I was
excited to discover a modern-day voice that has captured that fast-paced
and snappy dialogue that you would find in a Tommy & Tuppence
who-dun-it. That voice is Donna Crow, award-winning English novelist who
lives in Oregon."
-Author Christine Lindsay
