Praise for The Bookshop Mystery Series
"This debut cleverly integrates a historical cozy within a contemporary mystery. In both story lines, the elder characters shine; they are refreshingly witty and robust, with formidable connections and investigative skills."
--Library Journal, STARRED REVIEW on The Plot is Murder
"A promising debut with a satisfying conclusion." --Publishers Weekly on The Plot is Murder
"As good as any Jessica Fletcher story could be, Burns has a way with words and her characters are absolutely riveting. There is no doubt this is one series that will continue for a good, long time to come." --Suspense Magazine on Read Herring Hunt
"Cozy mystery readers and historical novel aficionados will adore this warm-hearted, cleverly plotted new series."
--Kings River Life
"The Plot is Murder is a great addition to the ranks of cozy mysteries. Samantha Washington is a savvy and sympathetic sleuth and her crime-busting senior citizen posse all but steal the show. Two parallel plots make this book-with-a-book twice as much fun. I hope this debut mystery is the start of a long series to come." --Laurien Berenson, author of Murder at the Puppy Fest
"You'll love this delightful debut mystery with it's charming and wacky cast of characters and a mystery within a mystery just to keep things interesting." --Victoria Thompson, New York Times bestselling author
"A charming read--with murder, romance and lots of mouthwatering desserts." --Laura Levine, author of Death of a Bachelorette
