Roots of Murder

Rating:
Summary: I loved the main character and enjoyed the mystery.
Review: Roots of Murder is fun not only because of a delightful and unusual sleuth and an interesting plot, but also because of its insight into Amish lives. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Summary: Appealing Amalgamation
Review: Set in Missouri, author Janis Harrison offers up a cozy mystery with an interesting amalgamation of elements. Bretta Soloman is a grief stricken widow who has managed to lose 100 pounds. She also is a florist, and a good friend to an Amish man whose brother coincidentally grows flowers, but who is found with his neck broken in his field. This is a tightly written mystery cozy that cleverly weaves in different elements into a complicated solution. Ms. Harrison doesn't hesitate to deliver characters you won't like, but does manage to deliver an interesting first novel.

Summary: Thanking the many people who've bought Roots of Murder
Review: Writing books is a real joy for me, but since the publication of Roots Of Murder, I'm finding the feedback from the readers is fantastic. The second book in the Bretta Solomon series will be released by St. Martin's press in July of 2000 and is titled, MURDER SETS SEED.
