“Cait and Bud are likeable, very human characters, whose personalities and relationship develop with each story. This is a completely stand-alone novel, but one of the interesting features of the series is that characters from earlier novels often make return appearances, which adds to the richness of the narrative. The setting is vividly drawn and the plot is cleverly constructed, with subtle homages to the Golden Age of Detective Fiction, not least because it is a closed circle mystery, with a limited number of possible suspects, and the crimes have their roots in the secrets of the past. The Corpse With the Amber Neck is a page-turner, which I wholeheartedly recommend.” Carol Westron, Mystery People Magazine
“There is no doubt that the author’s own love for travel comes through in her crime fiction and you’ll recognise her descriptions of Paris if you’ve been there. When Cait makes casual comments about the city, your memories will be triggered. Don’t worry if you’ve never ben there, though, as the author does a great job in creating the setting. You will get a strong feel for the city. Travel, fashionistas and cosy mystery fans will enjoy the Corpse with the Amber Neck. Ace has created an interesting mix characters along with an engaging plot. She’ll keep you guessing the identity of the murderer through her use of red herrings. As the book concludes in classic fashion, the suspects must gather in a room so Cait can share her observations and deductions with everyone. Ace always keeps a few surprises up her sleeve for the grand reveal.” Sharon Richardson, crimefictionlover.com
“…as the series has settled into taking the Canadian couple throughout the world the investigations are made even fresher as the history and culture of these unique cities are explored. The dialogue between characters excels as well, feeling natural as they banter between one another and the locals as the investigation expands through the community. The mystery is compelling as well, becoming a drama of family intrigue, hidden secrets, and ruthless fashion house competitions. Interwoven throughout is Cait’s experience profiling victims, which never blames them but does reveal what may have led to their demise. This is another delightful mystery featuring a wonderful investigative couple in the most glorious setting imaginable.” Cynthia Chow, Kings River Life Magazine
