About the Book:

"I read about half of these in the first sitting. If you like mini-mysteries in "Woman's World," you should like these. Not all women-centered. I guessed the culprit in some, but not in others. Author quickly brings forward the crime, setting and suspects--usually small-town types, from the upper-crust to us life-time employees. Enjoyable reading, good value for the price."--Mrs. BB Reviews

"This little book is a fun read filled with clever language and humorous phrases and titles (the Knit Wits knitting club; a talking bird named Squawker). It'll amuse you whether you solve the cases or not. A perfect gift for the mystery buff in your life. Cheers for Loretta Martin."--Tamara A. Shaffer, author

"Fun for your inner sleuth"--Leslie, reader 

"In these times of confinement, uncertainty and chaos, why not take a break and read a short mystery you can solve?"--Jane Charmelo, Lombardian

"This was a fun read! The cases were well-written, entertaining, and fun to try and solve. I look forward to more from this author."--S. M. Russell, reader 

About "The Birthmark":

"'The Birthmark' is a gorgeously written, haunting, and mystical piece! We all enjoyed it."--Angela Mackintosh & WOW editors

"This flash was like jumping down Alice's rabbit hole and into another world. I always appreciate when a story transports me to a setting and conflict that is different from my own life. Excellent narration, tension, dialogue, pacing, and imagery."--Emily Forney,  BookEnds Literary Agency
