Reviews

[Mystereity Reviews]

Not bad for the first in a series, the characters were likeable and the plot was interesting. The only criticism I have is that I didn't connect with the story that much; there wasn't enough there to involve me in the story. But I will read the next book in the series to see if the writing progresses.

[MurderByDeath]

I wasn't sure about this book, as I have to admit, I didn't like the title at all. But it was a mystery with a ghost that takes place in my home state of Florida, so I gave it a try. I'm sure glad I did. A strong debut, in my opinion. The characters all sound interesting enough that I want to stick around and watch them develop, the setting is well sketched out and the plot/murder mystery was a good one. The ending wasn't a surprise to me, but neither was I able to guess which suspect was the murderer. I also really liked that the main character, Glory, didn't go around "interrogating" everyone in a wholly unrealistic fashion.

I love the bad mouthed parrot and I'm really looking forward to the next book.
