THE REVIEWS ARE IN!

“

Fans of small-town cozy mysteries will enjoy this action-packed yet character-driven story.

“

The Loon's Song is a fine mystery and quick read, given welcome depth by the woman at its heart.

“

Shapiro, a former print and broadcast journalist in Canada, creates a vivid world on Wynter Island, and it’s one that’s full of quirky characters

“

The narrative style is fantastic and flowed gorgeously. The pace is perfect, and the scenes were descriptive enough to transport me right next to Kate as she solved the murder. Highly recommended!
