Critics Review
Praise for A Trinket for the Taking
“Laurie’s series debut packs quite a punch. In addition to murders, there’s a juicy romance between Dovey and the handsome special agent, a bunch of gory fight scenes, and heaps of mystic-on-mystic malevolence—enough to satisfy readers who like their puzzles with more than a hint of the supernatural. A magical mystery tour coming to take you away.” —Kirkus
“Fans of Carolyn Hart’s Bailey Ruth Ghost mysteries will enjoy meeting Dovey in this first in a new series describing a mystic world parallel to our mortal one.” —Booklist
“Laurie blends fantasy, mystery and romance.” —Publishers Weekly
