Reviews
Praise for the Highland Bookshop Mysteries:

“Cozy fans are in for a treat.”
~ Publishers Weekly

“A new cozy mystery series in which the drama is tempered with humor.”
~ Marilyn Stasio, New York Times

"Chock-full of intriguing characters and Highland charm.”
~ Kirkus Reviews
Praise for the Haunted Yarn Shop Mysteries:

“Cozy fans will enjoy the quirky characters and charming, small-town setting.”
~ Publishers Weekly

“MacRae does a superb job of coordinating her amateur sleuth ensemble cast…set in Tennessee. Snappy repartee and genuine warmth are both conducive to the best sort of cozy.”
~ Library Journal

“MacRae develops her characters, even the ghost, slowly and completely. Reading about Blue Plum is a joy in itself; the setting is stunning and MacRae captures the beauty and serenity very well. By book six, Blue Plum is a character all by itself; this makes reading about the inhabitants all the more fun.”
~ Reviewing the Evidence

Praise for Lawn Order:

"Murder with a dose of drollery . . . Margaret, the independent-bookstore-owner-sleuth, entertains us as much as Nero Wolf's smart aleck sidekick, Archie Goodwin." ~ The Boston Globe
