"An intriguing story that drew me in and kept me turning pages. Miss Juliette Abbott once again proves she is as clever as she is charming. I loved the surprise twist at the end and how the author tied everything in with a real-life mystery in Margate. I certainly hope Marilyn Clay adds more books to this delightful series!" - Anna Wilson

"Heroine Juliette Abbott is just as confident and perceptive as ever. Though the case gets more and more complicated, Juliette keeps her sense of humor and uses her perceptive intelligence to sort out who the culprit is. A great read!" - L. B.
