A Cyclist's Guide to Crime & Croissants (2024)
(Cyclist's Guide Mystery, book 1)
Ann Claire
"I thoroughly enjoyed this cycling tour through the French countryside. Descriptions of the scenery were vivid enough to make me feel like part of the group, and the food was superbe! Tour owner, Sadie Greene, was both savvy and relatable as she wrangled a diverse set of cyclist suspects with aplomb. I'd be happy to follow her anywhere."

Murder with a Cherry on Top (2018)
(Lickety Splits Ice Cream Shoppe Mystery, book 1)
Cynthia Baxter
"Murder with a Cherry on Top is a sweet treat. I loved everything about the Hudson Valley setting, from the small-town ice cream shop to the organic cows. Cynthia Baxter's characters feel real enough to touch and her descriptions are mouthwatering. This book is best read with a spoon and a tub of ice cream nearby."
