Marcia Applegate, the MkaMysteryLady, has reviewed my novel, “Murder in a Teacup.” She has done an excellent job capturing the essence of my book. This talented reviewer not only draws potential readers into the story plot, she unobtrusively inserts comments about characters, Cheyenne culture and life in the small Montana town that is the setting of my novel. On her blog, MkaMysteryLady, Marcia has written several interesting book reviews. I recommend her site to my readers who have an interest in reading new mysteries as well as writing them. After reading her review, I felt like purchasing the book myself.
