Praise for THE MISERS DREAM:
Hands-down the funniest thing I have read in a long time, expertly paced and hilariously detailed.-Seattle Book Mama
This book reminded me of the Nick and Nora Charles adventures-slightly noir and slightly zany. An enjoyable read.-Victoria Kemp, Librarian at Flower Mound Public Library I loved this book. From beginning to end I was hooked. The story is fantastic and the cast leaves you wanting to know more. I can't wait to read the next book in the series.-Bookschellves With twists and turns, flurries of romance, and a cast of characters that seem to be the unholy spawn of The Maltese Falcon and The Third Man, The Miser's Dream keeps the pages turning and the reader delighted from start to finish.-Jeffrey Hatcher, Screenwriter, Mr. Holmes It's full of magic, mystery, danger and misdirection, as a good magic trick should be. I love this cozy mystery series, a thoroughly delightful read.-Sweet Mystery Books An intriguing cross between noir and cozy, with fascinating details about magic tricks and plenty of quirky characters. An easy, enjoyable read for mystery buffs seeking a bit of an escape from the usual crime fiction fare.-Library Journal★★★★★
