“The fifth Mercy Carr mystery (following The Wedding Plot) combines Halloween, a gothic house, two working dogs, and environmental issues in a superb mystery that emphasizes the search for home.” ― Library Journal (Mystery Pick of the Month) on Home at Night

“A thrilling combination of physical and mental feats by human and beast.” ― Kirkus Reviews on Home at Night

“Enjoyable… distinctive characters… This is a fine escapist fare for a hot summer day.” ― Publishers Weekly on The Wedding Plot

“I love books where the story and the characters grow out of the place that they’re set, and that couldn’t be more true of The Hiding Place, which delivers a satisfying, twisty plot, an entertaining ensemble of locals and, of course, a pair of intelligent and heroic dogs.” ― Ann Cleeves, New York Times Bestselling Author of the Vera and Shetland series

”[The] characters of both Mercy and Elvis are quickly developing into classics.” ―Aunt Agatha’s Bookstore

“There’s so much to praise here: Munier’s deep knowledge of the culture of hunting (especially the bow-and-arrow variety); her brisk, incisive characterizations; the way she maintains a taut line of suspense throughout; and, best of all, her portrayals of wounded yet still courageous pairs of humans and dogs. A not-to-be-missed K-9 mystery.” ― Booklist on Blind Search

“The portrayal of working dogs will appeal to fans of David Rosenfelt and Margaret Mizushima. The blend of lovingly detailed setting and lively characters, both human and canine, makes this a series to watch.” ― Publisher’s Weekly on A Borrowing of Bones
