A wonderful, well written mystery that kept me guessing through all the twists and turns. Great for summer reading or any time to escape to a beautifully described setting. I can’t wait to read more by this author.

Great story telling! Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2025 Just finished Murder at the Grand Island Hotel...read from cover to cover...just could not put it down. Wonderfully written, could not guess "who done it". Lovely characters. Can hardly wait for the next in the series. Highly recommend!

A Surprising Who Done It? Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2025 A fun, easy to read mystery! Ms. Mia sure knows how to read people and what she gleans proves very valuable in solving cases! I look forward to following her as she helps to solve other mysterious events that unfold in her path.
