What readers say about Price of Innocence

“Do not start reading this before bed time. You may stay up too long . . . A neighbor decides to borrow a book and finds a dead body . . . No one thought she was missing, let alone dead. . . . I found it hard to put down.” -5*

“Just as enjoyable as any of her other series, I believe. And yes there was some humor as well. A page turner for sure. Can't wait until I get the next in this series!” -5*

“If it's a McLinn mystery, it will be well plotted, interesting with twists and turns, and will leave you wanting another . . . This is true of the Caught Dead in Wyoming series, the Secret Sleuth series, and certainly this Innocence series. I preorder her mysteries without reading the premise - I am confident they will be well worth the purchase price.”-5*

“I think this is Patricia McLinn’s best book yet. She does a great job fleshing out her characters and keeps you guessing right until the end. Looking forward to the third installment in this series!”-5*
