"A novel to take aboard ship for a winter getaway is Nancy Cohen’s 9th Maria Shore mystery, KILLER KNOTS.

“KILLER KNOTS is a fun cozy mystery that kept me guessing until the exciting conclusion. I've never been on a cruise before but felt like I was on one while reading this mystery. The day to day activities, shopping, overeating, overspending, and gambling, were fun to read about and really made me feel like I had experienced the cruise myself. I would definitely recommend KILLER KNOTS to cozy mystery fans that are looking for an enjoyable book to read.” Rachael Dimond, Fresh Fiction

"I love this series.  Marla and Dalton are such fun characters.  They have really grown through this series as well.  I like Marla's interactions with his teenage daughter.  They are very believable.  It's fun seeing them in a different setting this time.  I enjoyed the cruise setting for this installment in the series.  I can't wait to read the next book!  I highly recommend this book and series.”  Dawn Dowdle, Mystery Lovers Corner
