Praise for Martin Brown
"I loved the setting--the characters pop off the page. The writing paints wonderful word pictures, bringing me right into the story. If you love small-town mysteries in the style of a parlor mystery ala Agatha Christie, this one's for you!"
Deborah Coonts, The Lucky O'Toole Vegas Adventure Series
“Martin Brown is an expert at crafting a tale that draws you in and keep your interest.”
Amazon’s DeeDee B.
"Hands down, my favorite mystery writer."
John Gray, Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus
“Skillful writing. I love a mystery that takes a final twist, and has a great surprise ending. Better than many I've read recently. Good entertainment!”
Amazon’s Laura A.
"Martin knows Marin County, and it shows. With snarky humor, he's captured the essence of living in small affluent communities, where nosy neighbors relish learning dirty little secrets."
Josie Brown, The Housewife Assassin Series
Mr. Brown did a great job in the mystery's twists and turns while staying true to his characters. I highly recommend this book.
