Praise for the Libby Madsen Cozy Mysteries:
"A fun read from first page to last ... an impressively original and deftly crafted read"-Midwest Book Review
"Readers know what a sucker I am for dogs, and the Libby Madsen mysteries are some of the best. I love, love, love Shadow and Libby and the adventures they get themselves into. Jennifer J. Morgan is destined to be one of the brightest new stars in the cozy mystery scene!" - Connie Shelton, USA Today bestselling author
"I'm hooked on this series. Completely adore Libby and Shadow (her companion black Lab pup-so adorable!). Without giving any spoilers at all, I couldn't put the book down once amateur sleuth, Libby Madsen, was on the search. The suspense amid so many suspects, I never did figure out how it would all turn out. Overall, it's a clean read--appropriate for all ages." - lovereadingmysteries, 5 star online review

Alexis, her best friend/business partner, and her family ... and the gorgeous forest ranger, Greg! I love the friend group! And Jennifer doesn't disappoint in her second book of the series ... I find myself turning pages just wanting to know what happens next. Hope the next title comes soon..." - 5 stars on Barnes & Noble
