Booklist Starred Review of Murder on the Spanish Seas
“Clever, transportive, and laugh-out-loud funny . . . the perfect book to read poolside — just not on the deck of a luxury ocean liner. I can't wait to read more from this wickedly entertaining new voice”
Andrea Bartz, New York Times bestselling author of We Were Never Here, on Murder on the Spanish Seas
“Church has penned a whip-smart, sarcastic, amateur sleuth and a tightly plotted story that’s perfect for fans of Ruth Ware, Catriona McPherson, and Darynda Jones. Readers will want to see Jesse again”
Library Journal on Murder on the Spanish Seas
“An action-packed debut that’s as funny as the heroine is unstoppable. I loved it!”
Nora McFarland, author of the Lilly Hawkins Mysteries, on Murder on the Spanish Seas
