Cool, thank you.

[sholio]

I hope you enjoy it! :)

[timespirt]

Thank you. I will try to read it as soon as I finish what I'm reading now. I can't wait.

[philomytha]

Oh, congratulations on finishing it! It looks like great fun!

[sholio]

Thank you!!

[philomytha]

Coming back to say, I've just finished reading it, I adored it, I am delighted by the presence of a hot pilot and the excellent deployment of bear spray, all the characters were lovely, I spotted the villain about two pages before the reveal which is exactly where I like to spot the villain, and I would consider marrying Miranda <3

[sholio]

Oh, EXCELLENT, I am completely thrilled to hear this! And especially thrilled that the villain reveal landed where it's supposed to, because it turns out that the hardest thing about writing murder mysteries (at least for me) is not visibly telegraphing "this person is bad news, do not trust them" as soon as they show up. ;D

As for the hot pilot:

My brain: You know, normally in these kinds of books the love interest is the investigating police officer, but what if ...
The logical part of my brain: oh Layla no
The rest of my brain: oh Layla yes

[philomytha]

Yeah, it was the bit where

she showed up with drinks and had a suspiciously clean and tidy campsite, which I'm guessing is about what you intended :-D

And, well, I can hardly argue with hot pilots as the love interest of choice, can I! Works in the Alaska setting, too.

*high five*

What a great summary line: Camping can be murder. *g*

[sholio]

Heee, thanks! *high fives*

[chelseagirl]

Yup, that is a classic cozy cover!

I confess I've never taken advantage of your free downloads before, since your usual genres are not mine, but we're on the *cough* same page for a change. (I think I've mentioned I'm treasurer of the NY TriState chapter of Sisters in Crime, or maybe not.) I've always been intimidated by downloading things to my Kindle that I haven't purchased on Kindle, but these instructions were super-easy!

[sholio]

Excellent, I'm glad I've wandered over into your genre corner! :D I'm thoroughly enjoying it here, and I'm glad the download wasn't difficult!

[cgbookcat1]

Oooh, thank you!

[sholio]

Enjoy!! :D

[leesa_perrie]

Thank you!!! I shall add to my list, and try and interrupt my new obsession for it (I came across a series of books that I can't stop reading, lol! But will do so for this book. If you're interested, it's the Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells that's caught my attention)!

[sholio]

I hope you enjoy! It's hard to stop reading when you're in the middle of something good. :D

[scioscribe]

Downloaded, thank you! This is so exciting.

[sholio]

I am excited! I've been wanting to do this for ages.

I just read the intro novella a couple weeks ago, and have been looking forward to the first novel. I'm excited it's out!

[sholio]

Oh fantastic, I hope you enjoy! :)
