—Red Carpet Crash
“The Greer Hogan series by M.E. Hilliard—The Unkindness of Ravens, Shadow in the Glass, and Three Can Keep a Secret,—features a librarian amateur sleuth who uses her considerable research skills, intelligence, and encyclopedic knowledge of classic mystery and detective fiction to help solve murders. The author’s own experience as a librarian lends verisimilitude to the protagonist’s actions, while the unique, and somewhat gothic, settings provide a touch of haunting charm. The series is a great choice for readers who enjoy both cozy and traditional mysteries.”
