What They're Saying
Critics Review
Praise or Essence of Foul Play:
“A promising spinoff of Gerber’s Fairy Garden Mystery series with many of the same charming characters.” —Kirkus Reviews
“Details of running a spa are woven throughout the story with its charming setting and well-drawn main character, who has a difficult relationship with her mother. Includes recipes. Characters and setting overlap with Gerber’s Fairy Garden Mystery series, although the fairies in this story are not integral to the plot.” —Booklist
“A very cute series debut.” —Criminal Element
