What reviewers are saying about The Charm Stone
Carl's well-crafted fourth Jean Fairbairn/Alasdair Cameron mystery takes Jean, a journalist for travel magazine Great Scot, and Alasdair, a former detective, from Edinburgh to historic Williamsburg, Virginia . . . cozy fans should be satisfied.—Publisher's Weekly
Carl . . . manages to tie up the loose ends, renew Jean and Alasdair's shaky relationship and describe Williamsburg in a manner that will delight former visitors and intrigue those who have never been there.—Kirkus
Ms. Carl is skilled at crafting tiny details that speak volumes . . . the author intertwines several plot lines seamlessly, deftly depicts the beauty and mystery of Williamsburg, and weaves in an accurate, interesting, and well-researched history lesson, creating a beautiful tapestry.—Shirley Wetzel, Overmydeadbody.com
Carl's Jean Fairbairn and Alasdair Cameron Mysteries are clever, witty, historically interesting and, even with their bit of paranormal ability on the part of the protagonists, realistic. The Charm Stone gives readers an in-depth look at Colonial Williamsburg and the surrounding area, as well as a taste of its history. How could any reader resist a good mystery, romance, interesting characters, historical tidbits, and a darn good story?—Gayle Surrette, Gumshoe Review

Acknowledgments
I would like to express my gratitude to the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation in general—my visits to the Historic Area have been entertaining, educational, and inspiring—and in particular to the CWF employees who contributed patiently and wisely to this story: Glenn Williams, Don Moore, Kay Wilkinson, James Horn, and Lou Powers.
For the muses—Annette, Deni, Garda, Harriet, Mary Jo, Terey, and Sherry-Anne. Here’s to another ten years together!
