Praise for DEBORAH WOODWORTH’s SHAKER MYSTERIES

“A complete and very charming portrait of a world, its ways, and the beliefs of its people, and an excellent mystery to draw you along.”

Anne Perry

 

“A first-rate series; warm-hearted, richly detailed, and completely enthralling. Mystery fans should be sure to give them a try.”

Publishers Weekly

 

“Bits of Shaker lore add a fresh slant . . . But it is Rose herself—intelligent, compassionate, and very strong—whom readers will especially want to see again.”

Star Tribune (Minneapolis/St. Paul)

 

“Woodworth writes with grace and intelligence.”

Carolyn Hart

 

“A fascinating framework of period detail.”

Alfred Hitchcock’s Mystery Magazine

 

“Woodworth does an admirable job of opening up the world of these peaceful and industrious people to the reader . . . But she doesn’t idealize her characters, who exhibit the same small and large sins as the rest of us, even in their cloistered, orderly world.”

Denver Post
