"A DELIGHTFUL NEW COZY mystery series starring an intriguing heroine—Kate McKenzie. Twists and turns abound, entertaining the reader throughout! I loved it and look forward to the next installment. Ritter Ames is a new star on the cozy set!" 

~ Michele Scott, bestselling author of the Wine Lovers Mystery Series, featuring Nikki Sands

"Organized for Murder is a very enjoyable first in a new series. Ritter Ames really hit it out the park with this debut, and with her organizational tips included (throughout the book and at the end), I know this is one book I will be hanging onto. If you haven't discovered this series yet, I highly recommend picking it up." 

~ Cozy Mystery Book Reviews

"Organized for Murder by Ritter Ames is the first in a new cozy mystery series, Organized Mysteries. This is a quality cozy mystery. The story is well-written and the mystery kept me guessing. This is a great start to a new series, and one I am looking forward to revisiting. Great characters, fantastic writing, and a clever mystery all combine to make a really wonderful book."

.

"The plot was well paced and the author added some great twists. I was surprised by the actual murderer. I enjoyed all the organizational tips that started each chapter."

“The story, very cleverly put together, never tips the reader who actually kills Amelia. Ritter Ames keeps ratcheting the suspense...It was thoroughly enjoyable with well-developed, 3-dimensional characters.”  ~ BookTalk with Eileen

.

“I like the main character, Kate, and her sidekick/neighbor Meg, as well as both of their families. I look forward to seeing the characters develop more as the series proceeds. The organizing tips are actually pretty useful...I have to admit made me think about adding them to organization of my own home. If you enjoy cozy type mysteries, I think you'll enjoy this light fast read.”  ~ Murder Most Cozy

.

“I loved that Kate was happily married since most cozy sleuths are single. She also had twins, and that is unusual too. I loved the relationship between her and her family, and between her and Meg. There were plenty of twists and laughs, and lots of situations that had me thinking I knew what was going on. But then I’d be thrown for another loop, and I’d have to start over trying to figure out whodunnit.”  ~ I’d Rather Be at the Beach blog

.

“The characters are well written and stay true to who they are from the beginning to end of the book and they feel real as if you could meet the in real life...The author...had me constantly trying to figure out who the murder was until the end of the book.”

~ Hiding from My Kids blog

.

“Ritter Ames crafted a clever plot for this cozy mystery, with a plethora of possible suspects, each with plausible motives for murder. My suspicions ping-ponged back and forth between a handful of Nethercutt family members, but never for a moment settled on the true culprit. (Brilliant!) Organized for Murder is a great read – engaging and full of memorable characters that leave the reader eager to return to Hazelton, Vermont for more mysteries (and tips) from Kate McKenzie.”  ~ Girl with Book Lungs blog

.

“The characters are well-developed and likable. Ames has created realistic characters with their various problems and faults. She doesn’t make Kate a stuffy organizer without problems. She makes her down-to-earth with worries and concerns readers can relate to.”

~ Mason Canyon on the Thoughts in Progress blog

.

“This book really threw me for a loop!  I was guessing clear up to the very end, and...I really like when a book does that...This book was not predictable at all!  The organization tips in this book are also great and will be really useful.”

~ Melina’s Book Blog

“The characters are well developed and I thought Kate handled investigating in a methodical way, which fit her character perfectly. Her friend, Meg, is a great sidekick.”  ~ Socrates Book Reviews blog
