Reviews for Murder at the Book Group

“ … The amateur sleuth’s pseudo-investigative skills and her interactions with a cast of well-drawn, small-town characters reveal a deception that ultimately coalesces into a study of human nature and the limits of perception.”
Kathleen Gerard, blogger at Reading Between the Lines

“Murder on Tour, a Richmond, VA book group that focuses each meeting on mysteries that share a geographic setting, provides the milieu for King’s entertaining debut…Readers will find more substance here than in most cozies.”

This promising series debut—edgier and sexier than many cozies—should intrigue anyone who enjoys biblio crime.

The characters in this story are fascinating, and for the side of humor that the author delivers, there is definitely a dark side to go along with it.
Mary Lignor, Suspense Magazine

Easy to read, fun mystery where a book group member is found dead. Hazel and Carlene founded the book club, but when Carlene dies, is it suicide or murder? Hazel begins investigating and discovers that she really didn’t know Carlene at all. Fun characters, lots of motives and a good mystery!
Jennyfer Davis, BeachCrafters Books

Maggie King has written a mystery that seems more realistic than most mysteries.

“A cunning and cleverly posited mystery, MURDER IN THE BOOK GROUP demonstrates that one should be careful when forming a reading club, careful to keep the friends close and the enemies closer. Watch out for the sweet smile which contains malice, and the gentle hand designed to murder. A cosy and literary mystery in a contemporary style, this story presents a clever puzzle and an abundance of possibly scheming suspects.”

“Ms. King has a wonderful voice in mysteries, and I for one, can’t wait for the further adventures of Hazel and her friends. Recommended.”
Amazon reviewer

“Maggie King has written a mystery that seems more realistic than most mysteries. The novel would be in the cozy category, with a cast of characters who each have a secret to hide. King captures the inter-relationships that arise when people marry multiple times, and the way that a mystery can tear apart a social group. This book is recommended for mystery readers.”
Amazon reviewer
