Praise For The Miss Riddell Cozy Mysteries Series:
Pauline Riddell is sharp. She is curious, maybe a bit nosey, but she gets the job done.
... an easy read, perfect for a winter night in front of the roaring fireplace with a cup of hot cocoa cuddled up with a few friendly blankets.
These books are simply a pleasant way to while away a few hours, literary staycations essentially.
Good plot, great pacing, interesting characters.
A cozy mystery in the classic definition, much like curling up with an Agatha Christie.
The author will keep you guessing who did it and why.
