Another great story

I absolutely love each and every character in this series of stories and Kate does a great job as the reader, she brings each character to life .

A solid short story

Grettel gives new meaning to the “cozy mystery” subgenre, and I love it! Maybe I should add a day bed to my living room.

Great start to a cozy series

First, let's throw a high cheer to Kate. She is fantastic and has so much nuance and humor in her performances. I just love her.
This book is really funny. The author did a great job.

Gretel’s new groove.

It seems as though Gretel, receiving the brains in the family is to begin a career. As a detective, her first case goes well and earns her some respect.
Gretel has a sign made for her new endeavor and is ready to go.

Cute

A cute little introduction to how Gretel became a private dective for hire after her traumatic childhood in which she was nearly killed by a witch.
