Two books in one- what a bargain!

What a great deal. Two full length mysteries. I enjoy reading both Barbara Burnett Smith and Fred Hunter's books. They both write fun cozy mysteries with interesting characters and tight plots. Enjoy!

The San Antonio Express News reviews RANSOM FOR A HOLIDAY:

Lots of falling snow, warm muffins, children's choirs ... and a few dead bodies are laced into this satisfying mystery that makes it just right for a cozy read by the Christmas tree.

Publisher's Weekly reviews RANSOM FOR A HOLIDAY:

Mystery traditionalists will enjoy Hunter's careful plotting and thrills of a chaste and purely cerebral nature.

ETC reviews RANSOM FOR A HOLIDAY:

The relationship between Ransom and Charters is almost as much fun to read as the mystery plot. If your Christmas holidays are always uneventful or unsatisfying, read about theirs. It was lots more interesting.
