"I started 'Portals of Ashwood' at 9 PM and didn't put it down until I finished it. The pacing is relentless and the twist in the final chapter was a masterclass in modern noir."

Rachel Tippett

"The atmosphere in the Coastal and Mountain Whodunits are so vivid I could almost smell the salt air. It's rare to find a mystery that is both cozy and genuinely puzzling. I'm officially a lifelong fan."
