The Phoenix/ A Stella Jones/Chev Fortuna Mystery

My daughter read this first and gave it to me to read because she said "this is such a good book, I couldn't put it down!" I read it myself in one sitting. I sincerely hope, for myself, and my daughter, that S. Alden Reilly writes more of these great Stella Jones/Chev Fortuna Mysteries. They (Stella & Cheverly) are two of the best women teams ever! PLEASE write more of these books!!!!! Sincerely, Irene A. O'Brien & Bonnie A. Schauer

Well-Written and Fun!

S. Alden Reilly has written a book that made me feel good. "The Phoenix" is upbeat and refreshing. The author's humor is subtle and fast-paced. "...Out of the corner of my eye I saw Layne fishing around in her duffle bag. God, I thought, she's going to shoothim! "She pulled out a small black object that looked like a cordless phone and hissed into it..." I'll keep this book to read again and again.

Great characters in a swift story

The Phoenix is a terrific book, told by a charming lead character who goes through a remarkable transformation as she takes action to solve a mystery and reconcile her confused feelings for her late husband. There were many amusing moments -- all woven perfectly into a swift story. The action scenes were strikingly well-written. S. Alden Reilly is very talented, and exceptionally skilled in capturing the details that bring characters to life. This is the start of a great series.

The Phoenix

I found the Phoenix to be an excellent read. The character development and plot development were superb. I read it from start to finish without putting it down. The interesting plot twists and turns will hold your attention to the very end. The characters are very interesting and entertaining. I am anixously awaiting the next book--hopefully, it will become a series.

Fun cozy mystery

Strong women characters dominate this book and make the fun action packed adventure worth every page. The story is inventive and the relationships formed by the characters is heartwarming. Very worth the read.
