Our Readers Say …

A Real Whodunit

"Headlines scream: "University of Michigan Co-ed Murdered" and the intrigue and mystery begin.  Maze in Blue is a real whodunit and will keep readers guessing until the final pages. - Joyce Norman, Chalet Publishers, LLC

Easy-to-read, Enjoyable, Suspenseful – who is the kikenhai (dangerous tile)

"If you're a maven of mah jongg and a fan of mysteries, you'll find this easy-to-read, enjoyable, suspenseful, well-paced adventure belongs on your nightstand right between your good-luck tile and your playing schedule. Judge Goldstein deftly immerses the reader in rich characters, cozy settings, complicated relationships, and intrigue. As the characters come together, cross paths, discover clues, and unravel relationships, you'll find yourself wringing your hands worried for Carrie's safety, wondering who should she trust, and who is the kikenhai (dangerous tile) in the lot. -- Scott D. Miller - Mahjong News

Killer Nashville Book of the Day – Sharon Marchisello

"Should Have Played Poker has a fast-paced plot with short chapters, enjoyable characters and an abundance of red herrings.  It touches on issues of aging, family ties, corporate responsibility, and religious tolerance, and culminates in a surprise ending that makes Carrie question most everything she has ever believed in." - Sharon Marchisello - Killer Nashville Book of the Day

As Much a Legal Thriller as a Family Drama – King River Life Magazine

"There are numerous plot threads being woven into this relatively short mystery, and yet all are neatly tied together by its stunning conclusion. ... While the investigations remain the main focus driving the novel, added elements of romance and humor only enhance this thoroughly entertaining novel.  Carrie is a very sympathetic character, and despite her traumas she allows herself moments of playfulness and joy.  As much a legal thriller as a family drama, readers will find much to enjoy in this new series." - Cynthia Chow - Kings River Life Magazine

A Whodunit and a Self-Discovery Mystery – Writers Who Kill

"Should Have Played Poker is a whodunit, but it is also a self-discovery mystery." E.B. Davis - Writers Who Kill

Enjoyable Story – Terrific Read – Dru’s Book Musings

"This was a very enjoyable story. ... smoothly paced with enough action to keep me delving into all aspects of this intriguing mystery that I could not put down until I knew who the killer was. ... With a loveable cast of characters, good dialogue and a feel good atmosphere, this was a terrific read and I hope there are more stories with Carrie and her friends." Dru Ann Love - Dru's book musings

Page-turning Whodunit

"Pure, page-turning whodunit from the first page to the last" - Mobile Press Register

A Real Winner

"A real winner.  Characters leap off the page." - Jean Felts
