Customer Reviews
Worth the read, wholesome
This is a well-crafted, family-friendly book suitable for adults. It would make an excellent gift for a parent, in-laws, an acquaintance, or an adult friend. While the book maintains a family-friendly tone, it delves into mature themes of pain and trauma from the past, making it more appropriate for adults rather than children. I do wish the author had used more captivating and climactic language to keep the reader engaged. Although it's a well-written story, you'll need your own motivation to stay invested. The plot is strong, with unexpected twists and a beautiful ending that caught me by surprise. My only other critique is the artwork chosen for the series, which has a somewhat juvenile feel that might deter some adult readers. If not for the positive reviews, I’m not sure I would have picked it up, even though the first book is free. Overall, well done.

Chickens and Compost
Who doesn’t love a who done it mystery. Cleverly written, little bit of fun, silliness, of could there be love on the horizon and more than one mystery. An all around good read.
