Here are some reviews from the blog tour for Dreidels and Dead Ends, my new holiday cozy mystery, as well as some behind-the-scenes guest posts.
Reviews
“Well-written, with a steady pace to keep the reader engaged, this was an enjoyable cozy mystery read. Having read others in the series, Cohen depicts the conflict Marla feels as she deals with her growing family. This is easily read as a standalone. I highly recommend this one.” Christa Reads and Writes
“I honestly do not know how authors can keep writing books when they have so many in the series, but with nineteen in this series, it doesn’t seem that Cohen is slowing down and that is perfectly fine with me! As soon as I open one of these books, I am right alongside Marla, feeling her determination and enjoying every minute of it!” Cozy Mystery Book Reviews
“Marla Vail is back with another exciting tale in the Bad Hair Day Mystery series. It’s been one of my favorite series for years. This is the 19th book in the series, but the mystery is contained in this book. There are no cliffhangers… Nancy J. Cohen does a great job of giving us a captivating mystery that keeps you on your toes.” Socrates Book Reviews
“Since the sleuths are an interfaith couple, getting ready for the holidays is even more work. Jewish readers will enjoy having a Hanukkah holiday cozy to read, but other readers will enjoy the story, too. All the Hanukkah hoopla is secular, and Marla has to come up with Christmas gifts, so readers of any faith will enjoy the story. Anyone, like me, with an interfaith family will especially enjoy that aspect. I loved the quick pace, colorful characters and fun mystery.” Storybook Lady
