"New Fiction Pick for Summer"
The Paris Star Online (Paris, Ontario) "Calkins’ debut leaves the reader eagerly anticipating Lucy’snext sleuthing adventure in what promises to be a first-rate historical series." Richmond Times Dispatch "In Susanna Calkins' excellently written, well-researched and engaging debut, Lucy confronts murder, scandal, and the plague." -Washington Independent Review of Books "...absorbing debut novel"-Limerick-Royersford-SpringCity Patch “Calkins pays close attention to detail which means that the novel is historically accurate, and she only uses creative license in a few instances. I could relate easily to the different characters, and I liked that Calkins didn’t paint any of them as all good or all bad. The fast-paced plot kept me hooked throughout the novel….I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys history or a good murder mystery/thriller.” The Random Librarian Cayocosta Book Reviews “Wonderfully atmospheric, this book will grab readers at the first paragraph. Lucy is a likeable heroine and readers can only hope that this is just the first of many adventures.” librarycrystal "You won’t want to miss this novel... a great choice for your next weekend at home." A Book and a Review “I loved the way the author showed the differences between not only the classes, but between the acceptance and expectation of men/women." |
