Deadly Delights by Laura Jensen Walker
"If you like your mysteries with charm, humor, and a body face-first in dessert, this delivers. The author balances whimsy and suspense without tipping into nonsense, which is harder than it looks. The baking-show vibe is vivid, and Lake Potawatomi fe" Read more of this review »

The Alphabet Sleuths by Laura Jensen Walker
"Thank you to NetGally and the author Lauren Jensen Walker for allowing me to read this arc. One of my favorite sub genres in a Cozy Murder mystery is “older” sleuths. I can’t wait for more books in this series. The story and writing just flows. . Fas" Read more of this review »
The Alphabet Sleuths by Laura Jensen Walker

“How do you explain to a nonreader that books aren't just things but treasured friends? Companions?”
Laura Jensen Walker, Daring Chloe
tags: books

“But now I saw the real problem with chasing after a man. It wasn't a matter of being unseemly or socially unacceptable or not playing the game right. It was just this: if I chase him, I'll never really know if he cares enough to chase me.”
Laura Jensen Walker, Dreaming in Technicolor

“Be in the World, Not of the World—Kind of like Lucky Charms cereal: there are lots of pretty marshmallows in with the cereal, but they’re not the same. So live with the cereal, but remember: you’re a pretty marshmallow.”
Laura Jensen Walker, Becca by the Book
