Critics Review

Praise for Leslie Meier:

“For readers who enjoy an amateur sleuth that truly is a fish out of water, trying her best with good intentions, and often finding herself at a loss of what to do next.” —Aunt Agatha’s on A Matter of Pedigree

“Meier leaves the tight-knit community of Tinker’s Cove for the big city of Providence, R.I.”— Kirkus Reviews on A Matter of Pedigree

“Danger, intrigue, and a dash of Easter fun abound in this quirky Maine-set cozy mystery.” —Woman’s World on Easter Bonnet Murder

“Fans who started with Meier’s first Lucy Stone novel in 1991 may be interested to see how the gumshoe’s children and grandchildren are turning out.” —Publishers Weekly on Mother of the Bride Murder

“The beloved author of quirky whodunits is serving up two Thanksgiving tales in one charming book!” —Woman’s World on Gobble, Gobble Murder

“New York Times bestselling author Leslie Meier is the proof that no holiday would be complete without some hijinks.” —Suspense Magazine

“The frenzied pace of the city, effectively contrasted with the more tranquil atmosphere of a small town; the reappearance of familiar characters; and numerous plot twists all contribute to the appeal of this satisfying entry in a long-running series.” —Booklist on Silver Anniversary Murder

“Timely…Meier’s focus on racism gives this cozy a serious edge rare for this subgenre.” —Publishers Weekly on Turkey Trot Murder
