"I had a great time reading the letters of Natalie Holden as she worked to uncover a decades-old mystery on Ocracoke Island. Natalie’s voice is so distinct. I could picture her and the village so clearly, as well as the colorful cast of characters. The addition of puzzles and recipes made this a fun interactive experience. This mystery kept me guessing from the beginning to the end of her letters. I can’t wait to read about Natalie’s next case!"
- Erin C. - Early Reader
"To be honest I have never heard of a service like this before. I grew up watching and reading mysteries so I had to try it out. The story I read was captivating. It gave plenty of background information without being too wordy and every time there was a picture or activity, I instantly had to do it. I think that anyone who loves mysteries, or is even just a book lover could appreciate and love it! This could totally be a great gift for someone too. 10/10"
- Katharine W. - Early Reader
"I loved the premise, and it really felt like a collaboration in solving the mystery. The entire experience was like being part of an Aurora Teagarden mystery mixed together with an episode of Murder She Wrote on Cabot Cove. As a frequent traveler to Tybee Island, GA, the entire mystery had a ring of truth/realistic feel about it. I think the attention to detail made the entire experience feel realistic, and I truthfully loved it."
- Charlotte G. - Early Reader
"I liked the references to the small town environment – took me to another place I’ve never visited. The back and forth from past events to present events was an interesting storytelling technique. I also found the presentation of photos, postcards, letters etc. to be a delightful way to present the story"
- Winni L. - Early Reader
