Ratings and reviews

The bonds of friendships are sorely tested as Maddie works to resolve rumors of a haunted dress and mysterious deaths among the bridesmaids before this wedding is called off Love, family and loyalties are relative. For different people, different values are weighted more heavily- sometimes lethally Fake it until you make it doesn’t work as an approach in all situations- and echoes from past romance stories might add blessings or curses depending on perspectives of the times San Benedetto is a hopping place in the wine country! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Damsel in a Dress is the fifth book in the Perfectly Proper Paranormal Museum series and is an engaging cozy mystery. I loved this book. The characters are quirky and likable, especially GD. The story is well written and flows smoothly from start to finish with humour, murder, mystery, and a ghost (or is there?). I read and reviewed this book with no obligation.

I love this series ...

About the author

I write laugh-out-loud, page-turning mysteries for people who want to escape with real, complex, and flawed but likable characters. If there’s magic in the story, it must work consistently within the world’s rules and be based in history or the reality of current magical practices.

I’m best known for my cozy mystery and witch mystery novels, though I’ve written some steampunk mystery as well. So if you like funny, action-packed mysteries with complicated heroines, just turn the page…
