Customer Reviews

Mystery for us all!

Come on, when was the last time you read a good mystery? I mean the type where you have to think, there's no bloodfest and you care about the outcome? I thought so. Defective Goods is that kind of story where you want Kyle Shannon to stay as good as she is, but you want the crime solved. I especially like the characters, who are so real. Take some time to relax, curl up in front of the fireplace with a good mystery and enjoy.

Mickey Just Gets Better

Linda Mickey just gets better and better with each mystery she writes. The descriptions are vivid and put you in the moment. You want to keep turning the pages to figure out "who dun it". This was a great piece and the research accurate as usual. Can't wait for the next one!
