Praise for PRACTICAL SINS FOR COLD CLIMATES

  

“A strong plot and engaging characters make for a well-crafted mystery, and Val’s humorous attempts to cope with the wilderness do much to lighten the tension. The core of the story is Val’s discovery of her own self-worth.”

– Publishers Weekly

 

“Costa hits all the right notes—vulnerable but likable characters, a compelling plot, a clearly drawn setting, and a tangled web of past and present events.”

– Sheila Connolly,

New York Times Bestselling Author of A Gala Event

 

“Taut, well written and suspenseful, Practical Sins for Cold Climates draws readers into a community where the past haunts the present and residents’ motives are buried deep...just like the truth.”

– Kylie Logan,

Author of And Then There Were Nuns

 

“An engaging, deftly-plotted mystery with a smart, tough-minded heroine. Shelley Costa delivers a terrific series debut.”

– Daniel Stashower,

Author of The Hour of Peril

 

“Very well-written…this book reads as longer than typical cozies because it needs to, for honest character evolution. The mystery has a very satisfying conclusion…This is the first book I have read by Shelley Costa, and I am very impressed.”

– Librarian at Jefferson-Madison Regional Library System

 

“A brooding, atmospheric story, you can almost feel the weight of a blizzard bearing down. Highly recommended.”
