This is a great mystery . . . I loved all the characters and I really loved the mystery element as well.” Lynn B.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “I really enjoyed by Victoria Dowd. The story unfolds like a Clue/Whodunnit type of story. I was drawn in right away with the descriptive narrations. The author has quite a way with writing her characters so you like the ones she intends you to but also makes you dislike others! It had me interested until the very end and I couldn’t wait to read how this mystery concluded! Definitely one I’d recommend!” Kristen K.⭐⭐⭐⭐ “I really like this series and in my opinion, this is the beat book so far. We get a murder mystery with a little bit of humour thrown in. There's plenty of twists and clues in this well-written story . . . it's also multi-layered and atmospheric. The characters are well-developed and a mixed bunch.” Louise W.Book 1: THE SMART WOMAN'S GUIDE TO MURDERBook 2: BODY ON THE ISLANDBook 3: THE SUPPER CLUB MURDERS
