Review
"A REEL CATCH is a fun cozy mystery featuring likable women characters dealing with the struggles of small business ownership. Lorraine Bartlett does a phenomenal job at showcasing strong women in non-traditional roles. I cried, laughed, and cheered right along with Tori, Kathy, and Anissa. The Lotus Bay Mysteries series is the first series I've read by Lorraine Bartlett, but it definitely won't be the last!"

"
The author did a great job in staging this mystery where the suspect list was small, but it was the information gleaned that narrowed the suspect list. An enjoyable whodunit that satisfied. I was happy with some of the resolutions regarding the girls' future. I look forward to the next book in this delightfully appealing series."

"It gets pretty crazy and rocky at points for the women, but they are strong and determined gals who don't fade away at the first sign of adversity. This is a series I would highly recommend to anyone who loves a good mystery and wants to see strong women working together to solve any crisis thrown at them."
