What readers say

Just finished Echoes of a Murder, fantastic, but my husband says can you make the books longer as I am reading them too quickly."

Jill D.

"I just wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed your book 'The Empire Club Murders'. It was so good that I assumed that it was written in the 'Golden Age' for detective fiction and it was the first book in a very long time that I haven't just abandoned in irritation after a few chapters. Thank you."

Pamela W.
