“Tragedy, love, and optimism all meet in a charming British setting, where the enviable winter holiday Dickensian charm is matched only by the amount of intrigue…Shakespearean quotes starting each chapter further establishes the tone, making this the perfect Christmas mystery for any time of the year.” Cynthia Chow, Kings River Life magazine

“I used to be a real stickler for reading a series in order, start with #1 and proceed, and I still prefer that. However, with age comes letting go of some of my hard, fast rules and learning to be more flexible. I have wanted to read Cathy Ace’s Cait Morgan series for some time, and I kept getting further and further behind. Well, with this year’s book, The Corpse with the Granite Heart, #11, I decided to dive in. I’m so glad I did.” Kathy Boone Reel, The Reading Room

“Cathy Ace has written The Corpse with the Granite Heart from the first-person perspective of Cait, which works really well as a story-telling device due to how sympathetic and engaging Ace has made her lead character. While needing to be shrewd and insightful in order to solve the crimes that she regularly encounters in her professional and personal lives, Cait always maintains a strong sense of empathy and an even stronger sense of humour, which is particularly important in this most recent case…she is supported as ever by Bud, who experiences his own issues when dealing with members of London’s monied class. Their relationship, which allows their complementary characteristics to shine, is one of the real strengths of the series.” Erin Britton, Crime Fiction Lover
