Customer Reviews

A really good read.

Once you meet all the Yarborough family, you will want to visit again and again. I read the first book and immediately bought the whole series, and read straight through them.

When I finish reading one of these books, I feel like I'm leaving friends. It's enjoyable reading to find basic family values, humor and not obscenity.

Great mystery

Patricia Sprinkle has such an amazing ability to create characters that you can visualize and you begin to feel like you know them. You feel for MacLaren as she experiences assorted situations, as you would for a close friend. Her books get better and better. One begins to suspect that she has actually experienced the events in her books. Couldn't put it down once I started reading.

Satisifying Read

All of the MacLaren Yarbrough books are engaging mysteries and easy reads---the kind of book that is best enjoyed on a rainy day with hot chocolate. What Sprinkle does with clues is interesting, especially in this MadLaren book.

Definitely worth my money and my time.

I bought this book because the cover had a sticker that said if I did not love it, I could return it and get my money back with no questions asked. I figured what did I have to lose? Patricia Sprinkle has since become one my favorite authors. Her Maclaren Yarbrough books are easy reads. I felt like I knew her characters personally and was already missing them as I read the last few pages. If you like Perry Mason, Ben Matlock, or Jessica Fletcher, you will love Maclaren Yarbrough.
