PRAISE FOR Crystal Blue Murder

“Crystal Blue Murder is an expertly crafted mystery that kept me guessing until the end. In addition, Oliver Parrott is the most charming detective to come along in quite some time. He and his family -- consisting of a hero wife struggling with PTSD and a cockatiel who steals every scene he’s in -- elevate this into one of the best procedural series going. Satisfying in every way, Crystal Blue Murder is another wonderful installment in author Saralyn Richard’s Detective Parrott series.”— Rick Treon, award-winning author of Deep Background and Let the Guilty Pay

“Detective Parrott and his chatty cockatiel, Horace, are back in this delightfully entertaining and expertly crafted mystery. Crystal Blue Murder keeps you glued to the page from its explosive beginning to its suspenseful end. Saralyn Richard is a masterful storyteller!” —Margaret Mizushima, author of the award-winning Timber Creek K-9 Mysteries, including Striking Range

“We could talk about the intrigue and solving the mystery, but for me, relationships make the story. The tender, loving relationship between Detective Parrott and his wife, Tonya, was perhaps what I most enjoyed about Crystal Blue Murder.” —Sheila Lowe, author of the Forensic Handwriting suspense series

“What’s not to love about the tenacious Detective Parrott who sifts through the evidence of arson and murder, uncowed by self-entitled gentry. While dealing with his own issues, Parrott digs out long-hidden secrets, and, at great risk to his person, proves his worth to the people of Brandywine Valley.” —Susan P. Baker, author of the Mavis Davis Mystery Series.

“In Crystal Blue Murder, readers will find Saralyn Richard’s hallmark clear writing, vivid descriptions, and an assortment of complicated characters with deep secrets, stirring a plot so delicious one must keep reading. The tension, surprises, and sparks of humor as Detective Oliver Parrott unravels another Brandywine Valley mystery make this book another page-turner in the series.”–Ginny Fite, award-winning author of the Detective Sam Lagarde mystery series

“When Claire Whitman, the owner of Sweetgrass, blasts into one of Detective Parrott’s Brandywine Valley cases, he has to remind himself that nothing is as perfect as it seems.” —Phyllis H. Moore, author of the Meg Miller Mystery Series
