What readers say
Jeanne Glidewell is best known for the Lexie Starr and Ripple Effect cozy mysteries, light, clean stories with middle-aged amateur sleuths. Readers love her slapstick humor, eccentric side characters such as a foul-mouthed parrot, short chapters, family-friendly content and twisty endings that are hard to guess. Common criticisms are far-fetched plots, a heroine who lies and breaks the law to investigate, romances that move unbelievably fast, scripted dialogue, writing that tells rather than shows, and some editing slips.
Best for: Readers who want silly, clean cozies with older heroines and don't need strict realism.
