REVIEWS

This mystery takes place in a unique corner of France. The author nicely weaves the plot around the main character who solves a longstanding family mystery, finds closure from her widow's grief, and discovers new love. Steele's smooth writing style keeps the story flowing at a good pace while telling it in a way that made me feel like I was right there watching it all unfold. - Chris Martelli, University Place, Washington

My favorite book of yours so far. I love the setting -- so interesting. Thanks for letting me be the first of many to read it!  - B.J.W., Venice, California

I love France and I've traveled throughout the country, but this story takes places in a region I was not familiar with. In addition to being a cold case mystery, it was also a remarkably good tour of the Ile de Pendille, San-Joachim, and the Briere Marais. This is the third novel I've read by this author, and I recommend it to anyone who likes a good mystery. - Eileen McCarthy, Long Beach, California

I've been to France four times and I never heard of this area. Loved this cold case mystery and now I want to visit Pendille. - Joe P., Chicago, Illinois

Short and sweet, like all your books. Great story. I have always enjoyed cold case mysteries and this one delivers. - M. Coper, Sacramento, California

I'm ready to move to Saint-Joachim! This story takes place in a part of France that I'd never heard of. The author brings this fascinating location to life while she unravels an intriguing cold case mystery. - Kathy Stoddard, Long Island, New York
