How About That!

From Kerry Gonzáles:

“Last week I picked up a little cozy mystery at the library. I choose my books like I choose wine… by the label or in this case the cover. I remember showing it to Alex and commenting on the soft touch coating on the cover as well as the wonderful cover illustration.

It has been sitting on my nightstand for a few days. I had to finish the current book I was reading. Finally today I finished the first book and rather than read the second in the series, also waiting on my nightstand, I picked this one up again.

Jill De Haan, a former student, illustrated the cover. How about that!”
