Outstanding!

Pure delight for the avid (or maybe less than avid) mystery reader. Elliott captivates her readers from the first page of this finely crafted book, and holds their rapt attention to the very end. All I can add is "Bravo!"

Terrific in every way

This is a great story with memorable characters, a great sense of place, and a likeable main character, Thea James. The mystery finds Thea as she is recovering from a great personal loss and struggling along her faith journey. Unlike many mysteries, how Thea comes to be involved, how the events unfold, and the ultimate resolution are really plausible and don't seem contrived. I loved Thea's strength, chuckled at her clumsiness, and groaned at her puns. This is a book that you won't be able to put down. You'll want to see how it ends and you'll hate that it's ending all at the same time. I hope Cathy Elliott writes another book soon!

A Fun Read

I don't generally read mysteries (real life is scary enough for me), but A Vase of Mistaken Identity was truly a fun read. The characters are quirky, yet real enough to identify with, the dialogue was natural, and there was just the right amount of suspense to keep me reading without wanting turn on all the lights and lock my door. Cathy Elliott's debut novel has made me a fan of "cozy mysteries" and I can't wait to read more of Thea & Co.

A delightful page-turner

I could not put "Vase" down, it was so compelling. Cathy Elliott made her characters came alive. I feel like I know them and I care about them. Thea is such a real person - quirky and likeable. I can't wait to read more of her adventures.
