“…a series that gets stronger with every book. The storylines of the three cases are well constructed and interesting and the characters are all warmly engaging and grow all the time in confidence and happiness. The entire village, including the inhabitants of Chellingworth Hall, form a kind and supportive community. The Case of the Cursed Cottage is a delightful page turner, which I recommend.” Carol Westron, for Mystery People magazine
“While The Case of the Cursed Cottage deals with some serious and weighty issues, Ace also manages to work a good deal of humour into the story, for example in the thread concerning Henry Twyst and his family strife, which also reflects the kind of country house mystery that characterises many a golden age crime novel. As ever, the different settings in Wales are exceedingly well drawn, with Ace bringing forth both the good and the bad of village life and shining a light on the tangled webs that people weave. It all makes for a complex set of interweaving puzzles that are enthusiastically and competently unpicked by the four WISE women (and Henry).” Crimefictionlover.com
