"Light and breezy, Charbonneaus sophomore entry holds up. Her humor mixed with an eccentric cast keeps the mystery rolling at a steady clip. With this titles romantic triangle not unlike Janet Evanovichs trio of Stephanie Plum, Ranger, and Joe Morelli, and relatives reminiscent of those in books by Rita Lakin or Deborah Sharp, youve got another humorous series at the ready."--Library Journal
"Charbonneau's sequel to 2010's Skating Around the Law offers just the right mix of skullduggery, humor, mystery, and romance....Readers will enjoy the ride, and they'll really love Elwood, Lionel's retired circus camel."--Publishers Weekly
"The charming denizens of Indian Falls are back....The supporting characters...would steal the show if not for the mystery that needs to be solved--and the escalating danger."--RT Book Reviews
"A visit to Indian Falls is time superbly spent. Filled with delightful citizens, including grandfather Pop, an Elvis impersonator and hugely warm character, this loving close-knit community embraces you from the first page. Joelle Charbonneau has a fresh and lively and insightful voice, and she has created characters we'd love as friends. This is a wonderfully fun read."--Louise Penny, New York Times bestselling author of A Trick of the Light
