Napoleon Publishing, 2004

I'm itching for the sequel...
Camilla MacPhee bursts onto the senses like a sarcastic gin and tonic. A tough lawyer with a very no-nonsense approach (and a deep disrespect for all things feline), Camilla finds herself in the very unhappy situation of being best friend to a murder suspect. It doesn't help that the victim was an out-and-out unlikeable fashion critic who seemed to thrive on blasting women in power for wearing ...

A wonderful sequel ......
to "Lament for a Lounge Lizard". This is the continuing saga of Fiona Silk and for those of you who read the first title, I don't think you'll be disappointed. The beginning seems to mosey along and we are re-introduced to Fiona and pals; as well as life and death in her small town. Then, without even realizing it, the pace quickens and, speaking for myself, I didn't want to put the book down ...

A new series kicks off with a couple of unexpected and entertaining twists
Mary Jane Maffini is a well-establish writer of mysteries in Canadian settings. This book, the first of a new series, and set in a small American town, appears to be her novelistic attempt to escape what is sometimes called "the beaver pile" up here in the Frozen North. On the basis of this outing, I think Ms. Maffini has made a successful transition--and good luck to her! Ms. Maffini is no ...

Baskerville Books, 2007

good short mysteries
This is an excellent range of stories and all are well written. The styles vary and there is a good leavening of humour. A delightful concept to join together stories that somehow connect to Christmas. My copy has already been shared and enjoyed. We hope to follow up some of the authors with whom we were not familiar

Mary Jane brings us another sarcastic whodunnit!
Here's the thing - I love Camilla MacPhee. She's cranky, in-your-face, witty, sarcastic as all hell, and always catches the bad guy (usually with the help of her obnoxious ne'er do well secretary, Alvin). I've read the Camilla MacPhee mysteries by Mary Jane Maffini each and every time a new one has come out, since the first time I met her and thought, "Wow, now here's a lady with style." ...
