Aside from the fantastically woven story line that kept me guessing all the way, I found myself chuckling at the antics and commentary of the friends. The descriptions of the landscape were breathtaking and the connections between the ladies heartwarming.” -- Kathryn, NetGalley Reviewer

There was a lot of excitement, fun games to play and a murder to solve for Amy and her friends.” -- Deborah, Reviewer

“I  didn’t think Jane could create a better  'edge of your seat' mystery as  good or better than her first two in this series, but she’s done it. I  loved this book and have given several away to friends who now feel the  same. I can’t wait for the 4th. Bring it on, Jane Elzey, bring it on."  --  Florida Reviewer

  “Jane Elzey is a wickedly talented storyteller with a writing voice that entertains from the first page to the last. You will find that the killer isn't always the butler, in the den, with a knife. Enjoy the ride!”   — Woody Barlow, Author of Tarzan Wore Chaps and The Aluminum Ballet
